<p>[QUOTE="spartcom5, post: 4576049, member: 5213"]Hey all unfortunately I took my Alaskan bracelets to be restrung and was shocked when I picked them up. I had made specific instructions for them to be strung on elastic cloth which only one was. Also, I asked no adhesives and liquid be applied to them. They caked glue all over the opening where the string is tied! I am at a loss on how to remove the glue without damaging the ivory. Should I gently rub acetone until the knots loosen up? I need to get all the glue and knots out to restring them again. One of the pieces was even strung upside down... </p><p>[ATTACH=full]406696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]406697[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
