Well shoot! That is making a perfect weekend going downhill real fast.

Nothing to do...but take it off and try again.

Tried to loosen the glue up with acetone so I could reuse the material (you know, they don't give that purfling away!) but no use.

I took it back out to the garage and routed it off.

This is what I wound up with.



It's not nearly as bad as it looks.

Yeah...sure.

But we'll clean it up the best we can with some sharp knives...and then start putting it back together.



First the binding...then another piece of purfling...and before long...



Back to where we were an hour ago.

But this time there is black between the checkerboards and the wood.

Talk about chucklehead moves!

We'll have to show you how to dissolve binding in acetone to make a paste to fix "issues" soon.

If I'm as good as I think I am with this stuff...people that haven't read this thread will never know what happened.

Maybe.
