Got a Serpentor in a lot recently and at some point someone had attempted to super glue the cape on. Also have a Duke that is in great shape except for a broken waist that has also been super glued, badly it's all over the waist.
Is there any safe way to remove super glue that won't destory the plastic ? |

only way i know how to remove super glue is nail polish remover. i never heard of any other way. some on here use nail polosh remover to remove paint from joes, but i do know it has acetone in it, so work fast and becareful, if you let acetone sit on a plastic it will melt it.

Generally Using SuperGlue itself DESTROYS the Plastic. The chemicals in superglue dissolve the surface of the plastic and make a bond.
The answer to your Question is No... |

The Company "Loctite" make a superglue de-bonder, I've used it a few times with varying results. I used in on my Tomahawk main body as someone had glued the seats in, it was amazing! Other times it just doesn't seem to do anything:-(

Is there any safe way to remove super glue that won't destory the plastic ? I noticed that the glue had dried itself into chunks within each part. I used a micro engraver and started drilling into the dried glue only. That created some fissures within the chunks and I was able to get them to break off without too much hassle. On both occasions, I was able to get the waists free without damaging the original piece.

That makes me believe that certain plastics may be more susceptible to the de-bonder than others. The plastic on the seats is softer than the shell.

It's also pretty good on that thick glue that Hasbro used, it pretty much melts it so you can wipe it off!
