Ipe Glue Line Failed

Muina, if you can not find Acetone at a hardware of paint store, you might try an autobody paint shop. It is used to clean the metal before applying paint. Denatured
Alcohol from a paint store will work as well for removing oils from the wood. Good luck!

Lombard:

Thanks, I think my friend'll know where to get some in that case, he's just finished a college course in Motorbike Mechanics and recently had a job at a Motor Art place!

I think Denatured Alcohol is Methylated Spirits isn't it? I'm not sure about that, I'll check up on it.

Timo:

I'm just planing it flat and then treating it. I've had a look for some Urac, but the nearest place I can find it is Flybow which is in Ireland I think? And they dont state shipping until you've ordered and I don't want to end up paying £20+ just for the P&P.

I'll do a little bit more searching and I'll update if I find any.

Thanks for the input

Could be Muina, I only know it as denatured though. When I used to build boats, the wood to be bonded got more than a cursory wipe down, and really got a good scrubbing with the Acetone, or Alcohol. Whichever was at hand at the time.

Methylated Spirits is one form of Denatured Alcohol, but all denatured spirits are not Methylated Spirits, it depends on the denaturing agent.

Thanks, that's saved me a load of bother lol.

I can probably skip the search for Acetone now then. If I  mix the two just to be safe will it affect the wood/glue/each other?

Thanks

Muina,

I believe one way of denaturing alcohol is by adding acetone, so there should not be any trouble.
