My 4 year old grandson brought me one of his wood sculptures that had broken. Last night he tried to fix it with glue stick. Yuck!!
i tried water, paint thinner, acetone and lacquer thinner and the sticky goo was still there. I finally resorted to just sanding off the sticky wood on one piece and sort of mortising the other to get to bare wood,
did I miss a solvent? I’m sure this won’t be the last time I see that stuff. An internet search suggested that the base was PVA so water should have done the trick. But there’s also something in there to keep it soft.
