Klayn_Rogue Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Recently i was assembling a Kaiju battleship, but i kinda of screwed up a turret a bit and it looks kinda derpy. I have heard that acetone does it, but also that it melts resin. I also heard about freezing and then warming it, but i heard that damages resin as well. So, does anyone knows how to do it ?

FSAHoops Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 The only way I've ever saved a derpy superglue moment is to wait until it dried and chipped it off. Sorry I can't help more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erloas Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 I think you'll always have issues with superglue and resin or plastic. The compounds are similar enough that I don't think there is anything that will dissolve the superglue but not the resign. Also because of that superglue tends to bond both really well, so usually your only real choice is to cut them apart. Depending on the model in question, most turrets should be reasonably easy to cut off. Gen. Eric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klayn_Rogue Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 As i said, it doenst look bad, just a bit derpy. What about freezing and then unfreezing it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccabeus Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Depends on which superglue you used. If it was Loctite, try soaking it in warm water for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the model in question, most turrets should be reasonably easy to cut off. Ya, superglue on resin and plastics is way different than gluing your metal figs. The glue bonds the two pieces of resin/plastic in such a way they are fused together. If it were metal, you could just break it, but resin is forever....unless you have many sharp tools and hours to kill. Now, if you glued metal to resin, you POSSIBLY can break it off, but not as easy as metal on metal. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klayn_Rogue Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Also, i glued the Pewter barrel to a resin turret, not resin to resin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen. Eric Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 You might be ok. Just got to break it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klayn_Rogue Posted July 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 It is this turret, so i dont think i can scrap off since the glue is in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Nobody Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Maybe get a file and wedge it between a strong part of the turret and the barrel. Slowly increase the pressure, adjust the file to a better spot if it looks like the turret will crack. I also would use a knife to cut away glue you can safely reach. Good Luck! Gen.
