Glue removal from styrene and abs


Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I just received my tie lid from a UK vendor but I decided that I need to disassemble the whole mohawk assembly due to misalignments and parts poping out.

 

Any advice is much appreciated. Please see the pictures to understand what I mean.

 

Thank you in advance.

Since parts are popping it's not a fusing glue which means it's 100% removable. The downside is the remedy will kill the glue on the entire helmet.

 

Stick the helmet in the freezer overnight. You'll be able to take the helmet apart with ease in the morning, assuming it's not mostly apart already.
