binding
Here's a great trick I found on Instagram from Swedish builder Lars Rasmussen - using a heat gun to remove binding tape. Although this is maple, there can be a risk to pulling up wood fibers on spruce / cedar / softwood top guitars. The heat softens the adhesive and really speeds up this tedious process while saving your hands.
