In Response To: recovering from a poorly aligned scarf joint (Steve Brown)
: I used West epoxy to join two pieces end to end with a scarf joint (3/4 inch
: by 3/4" cross-section, 3" long scarf). Unfortunately during cure
: the clamp fell off and the joint is now off center. I was told by the
: kitmaker that if I used a heat gun I could remove the epoxy. I was able to
: remove the surface epoxy but not able to separate the joint.
: Should I use a coping saw to attempt to cut along the lines of the scarf and
: then rejoin?
I think its easier to use a saw on this. then roughen up the sawed edges and reglue.
