Run a test first off model. Make a drip of the same CA on another piece, or even on the bottom of the truck where you won't have to see the results (better yet), then try your de-bonder and figure out what works best. Start with just a little de-bonder at a time.

Like greg said, always have a bottle within reach.

One reason why I've started to get away from using it as much as I used to.

 Modeling is an excuse to buy books.

My personal preference for CA happens to be BSI Industries (Bob Smith). It's the stuff you see at your LHS branded for that store.

So I like to use their debonder too.....

I put it on with the same method I put on the CA. If easily accessible I just put a drop on from the nozzle of the container. If it is less accessible I use a forked applicator that I use to put on the thin CA or accelerator.  For just removing from surface I then use the Q-tip.

 

 

 

Thanks Don. I was checking on google and there are lots of different brands. Any you would recommend or stay away from?

Thank you guys. Do you just drip it on the CA glue and let it soften or do you use cotton swab and keep wiping it on the glue till it melts? Any recommended brand I can use without damaging the plastic?

And another use for the stuff......

The other day whilst repairing a houshold item with thin CA, I glued my thumb to the part. And I mean seriously.Could have easily been a trip to the ER.

The debonder and a little patience had the situation solved painlessly in short order.

It's a must have if there is CA in the house IMO.

Yes, there is a product sold as CA Debonder.  I received my current bottle as a sample when I ordered some CA as part of a mail order.  I will certainly replace it as it approaches empty.

I have used it both for removing drops/gobs of CA inadvertently placed on surfaces, and to remove parts glued to model with CA when I found I had to remove them for various reasons.  Good stuff!

I accidentally drop some superglue on the surface of a model. I let it dry as I don't want to wipe it and cause more damage or smear. This is not a kit but a preassembled plastic truck that I was repairing so don't want to damage the color on the mold. What would you recommend to remove the glue. Is there something that can put to unglue it without damaging the plastic or melt the glue with out becoming tacky again?
