HELP... Unglueing??

Some people say that if you freeze the parts in the deep freeze they can be popped apart. I've never tried that but it sounds do able.

Hi Yolev, I have gotten parts to separate after gluing with the liquid glues by warming the part just a bit in warm tap water and then work along the joint applying pressure to the center of the joint. It will start to weaken the joint and will pop loose after a couple of passes. The gel type glue is some sticky stuff and you might brake a pin or two there but that will be hidden when your done anyway.

Thanks for the suggestions.


I tried Woddy's idea of freezing. Maybe my freezer isn't cold enough ( not quite a deep freeze) but it didn't work.

With a lot of poking, proding, and tweezering I was able to get the piece back into place. Shoud be good enough to glue back.

Next time I will try the warm water.
