Default Fabric Removal Question

Have removed the fabric from the wings of a 1950's wooden glider and would
like some advise please.

Have you contacted anyone from the Vintage Glider Club? They would be
familiar with it.

Also, the BGA has a booklet called "Standard Repairs to Gliders:"
which may be of some help to you.

Although sanding is a good idea.


The fabric was obviously stuck to the wood with adhesive, after removal of
the fabric I am left with a hard residue coating of adhesive on the wood,
has anyone any tips on the best means to remove it?

And preferably the easiest?

For info I'm located in the UK.

Thanks
