Hi, Erik,
I wonder if you could get any leverage out of injecting a bit of water into the
joints, letting it sit for just a little time to let the old glue swell, then
hitting it with a hot air gun to reactivate the original glue, then clamp it?
In theory it ought to work; and if it doesn't I don't see that it would hurt
anything, you'd be no worse off than you are now. In theory.
"In theory" and a dime won't even buy you a beer anymore.
I love theory. And I'm good at it.
