Glue Spots

[Simon Barden]

Gary, the ES-3 uses an all-basswood ply construction for the body, so you are very unlikely to encounter any glue spots on that kit as there's no veneer. The LPM-1 is the only kit you are ordering that may have some issues, but any glue is generally removable. Always do thorough wetting check first (with turps, white spirit or methylated spirit) and look for light areas, and then use a propriety glue remover like Goof-Off on any glue you find.

Sorry for bringing up this old post. One of the guys mentioned the same thing on my recent post about veneer tops and using metho to reveal any glue spots. Could the metho weaken the glue that bonds the veneer to the body?
