: Hi -
: I'm a newbie but have been reading the posts on this forum for a couple of
: months. I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem.

: My 13 yr old son and I just started work on a S&G Pygmy Pinguino Sport. We
: glued our first set of panels together today using sheets of 8.5" x
: 11" transparency film to protect worktable under the butt joint. Much
: to our horror, the film delaminated and stuck to the underside (front) of
: the panels.

: We are thinking that we need to sand the planks to remove the film. Any
: suggestions for alternatives? Tried a hot hairdryer but that didn't work.

: Also, what do folks typically use to keep panels from gluing to the tables?
: The Pygmy manuel said to use plastic wrap but - unfortunately - I thought
: the transparency film would work better.

: Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

: Thanks
: Howard
