Hey guys,
I wasn't sure where to post this, but in my scavenging I picked up an antique solid wood dresser. it looks like it was a beautiful piece at one time but some moron decided to put 1970's (i think) speckled laminate on the top and the drawer fronts. reminds me of the bathroom in the hse i grew up in... anyhow i removed the stuff from one of the drawer fronts and it took forever with a little love and a lot of gentle scraping and sanding with my mouse but surprisingly i didn't find anything worth hiding. Is there a glue remover for this stuff? or would taking a hairdryer or heat gun help? i didn't want to start throwing chemicals on it and make a bigger mess...
Thanks for any advise, even if i have to keep going with the above method i have a feeling it will be well worth the efforts...it just may be an eternity before it's done. i will try to get some pics and post...the cord to my camera is mia right now
