The Phantom[TK] Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 Hi all. I am in need of a bit of help. My shoulder straps need to be removed and replaced they are glued to the chest piece with super glue (I think it is the same as CA glue?) Would it be best to try and remove as much of the strap from the chest piece then try and get a sharp blade between the strap and the chest and slowy and gently cut the glue? Any and all tips would be appreciated. Cheers Steve Quote
sskunky Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 soak in hot but not boiling water for a long time replacing the hot water regularly. CA/Superglue hates water...... then pick it off as much as you can. Quote
n0c00lgamertag Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 Good to know. Exact same issue here. I have heard the freezer works since the glue and plastic expand at different rates. But have yet to try it. Quote
SCTrooper[TK] Posted August 28, 2011 Report Posted August 28, 2011 (edited) I'll have to try that! Edited August 28, 2011 by SCTrooper Quote
SuperTrooper Posted August 29, 2011 Report Posted August 29, 2011 I can verify that freezing works. Just take your time getting it off and you should be fine. Quote
The Phantom[TK] Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks for the tips guys. I probably should have mentioned that the armour is HIPS. Quote
