No but she'll now have to put up with F-18's snuggling up to the hamburger.

Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

That's it?!?!?!! It's that simple?!!!?!?!

Sweeeeeeeet!

Seriously though, thanks Scotty! This may sound demented but now I can't wait until I get some wayward glue on my next plane. It means my wife will no longer have to hear my soft sobbing coming from the basement anymore.

Hi echolmberg,
The freezer method is as simple as sticking your model in the freezer for a couple of hours and BINGO most of the glue will just flake off (or rub off with finger nail)

HI guys! This topic intrigued me since, like most people, I've gotten glue in areas where I didn't want it to go. I usually end up scraping, sanding and scribing (Hey! The other three "S"s! LOL). What is this "freezer" method of which you speak? I have never ever heard of this before. I'm all for learning something new which will make my life a little easier. Thanks in advance,

Eric

Thanks Lee Tree, it was tube glue so it's in the freezer as I reply to you, I'll let you know if it's worked.

Scotty,
What kind of glue did you use on the model originally? I can't really comment on glue removers without knowing what glue you used.
If it was liquid glue, sanding and re-scribing the panel lines may be your only option.
If you used tube glue, maybe the freezer might work.
Let me know,
Cheers,
LeeTree
