Rune Priest Ridcully Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 About a week ago I was making a Thousand Son in mk 4 armour, using the last of maximus set I had got from FW, went to open my super glue, and the stuff shot out, covering severla fingers and the forge world maximus legs. Is their any way to remove it now apart from careful work with a scalpel? I put it in hot water and tried scrubbing, which got a lot of, but there is still a fair bit on them. Is a clean up possible?

Master of fact Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 if it was metal you could freeze it too make the glue brittle but because its resin it might make it worse, you could try it on a piece you dont mind if it breaks. I dont know scalpel sounds like the way to go Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250917-removing-super-glue-from-fw-resin/#findComment-3041392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 If there is no plastic on the model you care about, dip it in straight petrol. It does no harm at all to FWs resin and will soften up the glue in 20 minutes or so. Wipe and clean in hot soapy water prior to repainting. true!! If you don't believe me, use a scrap for a trial, hell even paint comes off resin no worries after a couple of hours. stobz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250917-removing-super-glue-from-fw-resin/#findComment-3041404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Does straight detol work? Petrol prices have gone crazy here in the Uk.

Because I'd say it contents solvents... which will melt both plastic and resin. Good to know!

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yep, car petrol. I've done it heaps on resin- all good. Will melt plastic though and I can't remember the last time I used it on greenstuff. As for the price, it's $2.20ish per Litre here in NZ(still cheaper than dettol), luckily you only need about 200ml and you can reuse it many times if you are careful. :lol: stobz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/250917-removing-super-glue-from-fw-resin/#findComment-3042270 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannus Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Use oven cleaner (Easy-Off is what I use). It will break down the super-glue without harming the resin.
