Removing Veneer

[Rob Sack]

I have to remove veneer that appears to be glued with hide glue from a curved panel. Any suggestions on methods for removing the old veneer?

[Chris Padilla]

Do you have a hot air gun? Heat it up! I'm not sure if a blowdryer will be hot enough but you could start there.

Never done it, but I always suspected that a cloths iron with a little steam may work really well.

Ditto,Steve.Also use a thin spatula. The best thing is an OLD THIN bacon turner. I don't think they make them that thin anymore,but in flea markets you can find them that taper down thinner than paper on the leading edge. Those really can get into joints,etc..
