   Kent,

   If it is right on the surface, use a razor blade to lightly scrape it off. Just be careful that you don't remove wood at the same time. As you know there isn't much there.

   If it was yellow glue, and is really stubborn, heat some white vinegar in the micro wave and apply it to the excess glue. This will melt the glue. Lightly scrape it with a razor. Just be careful you don't remove the softened wood in the veneer. Try and keep it localized or you'll start spreading it over the surface and that will create sizing problems if you plan on dyeing or staining later on.

   If it was hide glue, warm denatured alcohol will do it.

   If it is a porous wood and you used the vinegar method, you can very lightly open the pores back up with a brass brush. The operative word here is LIGHTLY.

   I would do it dry first, and move to the second option only as required.

   Don't let the warm vinegar seep into any seams either.

   Peter

   Thanks for the advice.  There is no glue involved, just the residue from the wax paper.  I will go slow and see what happens.

    

   Thanks again,

   Kent

   Sorry, I misunderstood. A light sanding with 320 may be just enough.

   Let me know how you do.
