Necron[TK] Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 I have to pull apart a forearm to get a seam straight and I have a little tack of super glue on one end and rest is E-6000. I think I can cut the E-6000 to get loose but super glue is hard to cut and not sure about using nail polish remover, but the area will be covered once I can re-glue back together. Any thoughts?

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 should be able to carefully run a knife under the strip to cut under. sand any area, and novus polish back to shine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmcp51d Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 DO NOT USE nail polish remover or CA remover....it WILL MELT the plastic. I know this from the hobby shop as I have seen what it can do to plastic. TMC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrazor Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) when building models if i make a mistake and need to unbond the styrene parts, i first soak the part in warm soapy water , then apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol to the joint area, then add a bit of baby oil before the alcohol fully dries. also for lager parts you may need to repeat the process a few times or increase the soak time. note: i have not tried alcohol on abs only regular styrene plastic, so test it out on a non visible area first Edited November 6, 2010 by dashrazor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necron[TK] Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Thanks a bunch guys, The operation was successful. Now I know why you guys swear by the E-6000 glue. Cuts right off and then it's just the clean up which I found a rubber eraser handy for making the stuff roll up and pull right off. I'll never use super glue for a quick fix again.
