If that glue is "distic" a lacquer/whatever based glue stick that is really really difficult to remove. Try various stuff to dissolve.

This is interesting because I have two large steel discs that I laminate grit to for sharpening sheep shearing blades. The adhesive is gray and looks like epoxy, but it loosens quite easily with water submersion. That 'distic' sounds like it takes a chem to get off. I wonder why they made that so difficult. The adhesive I used on my steel wheels has been around for at least 40 years, possibly longer.

Oh well, once you get this stuff off, you only deal with self-stick discs. I'd try acetone and if that doesn't work, MEK. The old 10E/10ER disc I bought online had some adhesive remnants. I used an air tool with disposable Scotch pads and it zipped it all off.

Distic is made 'fluid' initially by the heat caused by friction when rubbed against the spinning disc. Perhaps heat will ease the effort. Later adhesive was a latex based liquid fast drying contact cement.

Did "Distic" come in a stick form? I ask because the 10E I bought for a friend has a stick of something or other in a drawer....

Really good information on your post, Kevin, especially about the bearings and the sanding disk. It will go into a bucket of water tomorrow. Thank you!

I've got too many irons in the fire right now (pretty much always), so I've been pulled away from the Shopsmith project for a while. As soon as I can get back into it I'll be back on this thread with updates.
