  Well, I doubt I'll ever want to take them off; but will "ordinary" wood glue, stand up to the humidity?

Bought some Spanish Cedar planks on eBay (nice tip guys!). So...how best, to attach new planks to old wood?

  What's the tape anyway (or are you keeping it secret :p   VHB or SSAAT?

  OK, well...after some sanding and closer inspection; things are worse than I first thought.   I thought this spot; was residue, that I could get sanded off.     Turns out...that's lid, that did come off with the removal of that other crap.     You can also tell...it's lined, with thin...

^^ Yeah, thanks guys; I'm pretty happy with the results.   I'm with ILF here; the Acetone seemed to come and go in a hurry. Plus...between sanding and re-conditioning; it's not like sticks are going right back in under that lid.
