Today I did a fair amount of sanding and drilling, and I saw that there are some areas on the sides where glue has embedded itself into the wood, and sanding wont get it out... Ideas anyone??? I was thinking a tiny bit of metho???

Nope, metho will at best just spread the glue.....Quote:

I used a wire brush....but you need to decide what method to use as you dont want to sand through the caps...hate that glue!
Hmmm... I'll see what a very light steel wooling will do, before lightly rubbing it with a wire brush...Quote:

EDIT: Gav, you mean a brush like this?

No, it is a set of three brushes a liitle bigger than a tooth brush but only just.....will set you back about $3! It was the ONLY thing that helped me.
I tried sanding and ended up sanding right through the cap despite being incredibly careful. That's just how thin the cap is at the edges.
I tried metho, turpentine, acetone....(don't try acetone near plastic!) and all it did was spread the glue or perhaps seal the wood so it wouldnt take wudtone over a wider area....so that didnt work.
Tried scrapers, the very best that SMac can offer...it was helpful but had the same issue of sanding through the caps.
A cabinet maker, far more experience than I and a professional when it comes to wood suggested the wire brushes. These scratch the wood enough to allow the wudtone to penetrate and colour the wood rather than allowing the wood to become polished and continue to reject the stain.
Steel wool will only polish the wood and leave you back at square one.
Hey Pest :P
If the offending and offensive glue is on the sides, more elbow grease with the 180 grit paper will eventually remove it.
For any on the top, wot Gavin said...
Oh, and did I mention that you have done a superb job with the shielding.
Looks like a Pro with years of experience did it. Well done young man :D
Thanks bro!!!! It took me a total of 3 hours, maybe more during an evening and a morning, with a lot of cuts to my left fingers...Quote:

I'm happiest with the control cavity, the neatest of all... The pup routs need a little bit more, and the switch cavity and scratchplate need "The Copper Touch"
