Re: Hot glue Removal from Simplex Pneumatics
By Richard Moody
Simplex pneumatics require special consideration when removing old cloth and glue. These (three tier screw on) pneumatics also contain the valve, and pouches within the unit. If you want to keep the original pouches and bottom valve seats. ( these usually are in good condition) be very careful with steam. I try peeling as much of the old cloth as possible. Sometimes it peels right off, other times most comes off, still other times most of the cloth sticks to the wood. On a Simplex you can disk sand, the sides at least. The front edge may be beveled on the unit side of the pneumatic.
For steaming try a wet rag over an electric steam iron clamped in a vice.
