Depending on the glue used you can use an iron and a damp cloth to heat the top and re melt the glue. It'll more than likely render the top useless but you never know.. Next time you laminate a top like that use some cauls, or at least some thin squares of wood underneath the clamps to disperse the clamping pressure more evenly across the top. The way you can those clamps set up ultimately led to what happen as the clamp is only applying direct pressure right underneath where it is. You could even just clamp your template onto the top while you laminating it on there. Another suggestion I have would be to, it the future A) either laminate the top halves together THEN onto the body, or B) Laminate the two halves of the body (Myrtle and Limba) separately, then joint to two halves together, that will prevent the large seam in the middle from happening. We all make mistakes, its how we learn!
