obiwanboydy Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 OK. This is my first time glueing my TE2 kit and I was a bit generous with the glue for the joining strips and glue has overflown quite a bit. Is there any way to get this off without messing things up!

TK1137 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 E6000 should pull off with a generous amount of force. It doesn't bond to the plastic or melt the plastic life abs cement does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatshock[501st] Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 i'd wait for it to dry, then carfully with a knife - score the offending overflow and TUG! I love the stuff. Had to cut and pull of a whole seam of the stuff when I had to re-do a mistake on my Rubies biker lid. Its strong and flexible - just the ticket when puttin a kit together!

troopermaster Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I'll echo what Nate said. E6000 is a really great glue for armour. Whenever I get any overflow seeping out of the seems (which is quite often ) I just wait until it has dried, then gently run a razor blade down the edge of the strip wherever the glue is, then peel off the offending glue. I usually use the razor blade to make a start and it usually peels off pretty easily. If you get any E6000 on any areas where you don't want it, don't panic. Just wait until it dries then pull it off. Buff up the spot with a bit of Novus and you'll never even know there was a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK2233 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Have to agree with all the above. I find that, if you get it 1/2 way through its curing time (about 12 hours) it's dead easy to cut and pull off since it's not yet fully hard. Doesn't mater if you've left it longer than that, but it just gets that bit more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThayNerd[TK] Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Everyone already said what my response would have been. Just wait for it to dry and then and cut and pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyphis Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Wow. I really needed to see this post. As I tend to be accident prone, paranoid, and overly cricical of my mistakes (great combo, huh?) I plan to ditch the Devcon I bought and use E6000 for the build of my RT-Mod when it arrives. A bit more forgiving, it seems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stukatrooper Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I love this glue,ok its not instant 24 hours for a full cure.Apply a film to both surfaces put by for ten minutes then offer the parts your glueing together the E6000 almost acts like a contact adhesive. Like all the above on the odd hic-up razor blade or super sharp modeling knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
