Super thin cyanoacrylate removal

1

I am new to this glue, specifically Hobbylinc insta-cure applied with a small tip applicator. some of this stuff accidently dribbled/migrated onto unpainted surfaces…like a few miles away from what I wanted to bond :crazy_face: . How can I remove it without sanding and losing surface detail lacquer thinner rubbed on with a q-tip had no effect. There’s enough of this glue to be noticeable even after primer and paint. This stuff is runny, Tamiya extra thin cement is what I had been using for years. Thanks

the non acetone nail polish remover was not effective at all. I tried acetone polish remover with better results. It emulsifies the cyano and eventually with a lot of effort I was able to clean up the area. Freaked me out , thought I was melting the plastic. I am going to order a model specific remover as recommended here. thanks.

yep, that stuff is too hot. I tried it on a spare part and it emulsified the glue and had to use too much acetone to remove all residue. So indeed it can damage. polystyrene. Going for the Deboner. :eyes:
