hi everyone:
I haven't been on this forum for a while since I finished rebuilding my house from the inside out - but have positive memories of the help I got here. Now I have a new problem and.. yep, looking for good advice.
Specifically we have a tightly fitted screen door made by a master craftsman decades ago. The screen itself (about 62" x 30") - which my dog stuck her paw through - is held in place with custom contoured wood strips that are glued and pinned (the pin heads look decorative, I do not yet know if they actually do anything). The wood looks like Honduran Mahogany and I do not have replacement wood nor do I think I can find any that matches - although I have some other mahoganies that might come close.
So how do I remove the glue without wrecking the wood? (The joins are long and tight, no room for tools or injectables that I can see).
I do have a dupray steam cleaner - would a directed steam blast work without damaging the wood beyond simple cleanup?screen_door.jpg
