Baldwin F Rim Cleaned




After the old board is removed, the old glue and wood residue must be removed. This is accomplished by first removing the large pieces of wood reside with a chisel. Care must be taken not to damage the rim shelf. Then a solution of wallpaper remover and water is applied and allowed to soak for about 30 minutes. The softened glue and remaining wood fibers are then removed with a wood scraper. If the glue used to glue the board in is not water soluble, the clean up job is much more difficult.
