Inject Water to Remove Furniture Plug

Video Transcript

"Ok. Now that I have drilled the small holes around the perimeter of the plug. I'm going to inject some hot water in there and see if that will loosen the glue up. I'm going to use this syringe, which is actually a veterinarian?s syringe. But, a glue injection syringe is available at local wood crafting stores or cabinet supply shops. So, take and suck up a little bit of water into my syringe. It's just a little bit there. Put it down into the hole and squirt. See, it only take a little bit. You can see some of the water came up through this other hole. That's good. That means the glue is completely surrounded. You'll want to wipe this off so it doesn't raise the grain too much. And, you have to leave this sit maybe five minutes or so. Possibly, ten. Or, you might want to try the injection process a couple of times. After you do that, we're going to do what we did with the first plug. Which is, drill a little hole in here. Put a screw in and wiggle it and see if comes out. However, if it just won't come out you may have to break it to get to the screw that's underneath. So, I'm going to show you how to do that in a minute."
