I have repaired a broken violin (falling on concrete ground) using proper methods and HHG. Now I am asked to repair a broken cello, similar damage (one long crack on the top board and a few cracks on the side).
The owner has fixed the long crack using epoxy which now shows as a yellowish stuff. He did not flatten the epoxy on the top while it is still liquid. Now the top sound board has an ugly mess along the crack.
My goal is to use HHG to close up the crack, then add cleats on the inside to keep the crack closed for good. I have not remove the top sound board yet (in order to repair the cracks on the sides).
I am asking for advise as to how to remove this epoxy thing without creating addition damage to the top.
Thanks in advance for any advise given to me.
