End Grain.

[dingobass]

From memory the Gavmiester said something about a product called depoo... Errrrrm... Degoo??
It is supposed to remove most white glues (pva, aliphatic etc)
I have yet to try it so I dont know if it works, but if it does it may solve the problem of sanding through caps and bindings..

i leave the binding and scrape it back later if it needs it
