Hi all! This is my first post on the forum. I purchased a Mill Creek 16.5 kit a month ago or so and have been working on it sporadically ever since. In the early going I mistakenly glued the sheer clamp to the wrong side of the sheer panel and when I went to install the sheer panel realized my mistake. I found that a heat gun and a putty knife worked well to remove the sheer clamp from the panel. I had a friend hold the heat gun on the interface of the two and slowly but surely I was able to pry the sheer clamp and panel apart using the putty knife. Yes there were a few small places where a layer of okoume plywood came along with the sheer clamp but I was able to veneer over those with some matching color veneer I had on hand. It appears now that none of this will be visible and though it was a small delay, ultimately, no harm done! Just wanted to share this in case anyone else makes an epoxy error and wonders how salvageable it is. I should note that I am a woodworker, at least a hobbyist, so I was pretty confident that I could resolve any aesthetic concerns. But really, it's all good.
