Super glue has a debonder to correct a mistake or error in gluing; what about ordinary liquid modelling glue ( Tamiya, for example); i heard that soaking the glued parts in dry cleaning fluid can debond the glue or freezing the glued parts until the glue gets brittle are answers, but are there any other simple antidotes to a modelling disaster like this? thanks!

use a little more glue to soften up the bond

But wouldnt that melt the glued parts? Also what if the previously applied glue is old and really hard already? will adding more glue debond it? Thanks for your prompt reply Matt!

It should atleast soften it up.......

Use the site search option in the upper right corner...above the PM box.

It's been discussed before.

Jif( i m not sure if u have this in your country) oven cleaner works miricles for debonding glue, only thing it strips paint clean off at the same time.

Ave thanks too for the info- i think theres no stove cleaner here, the dry cleaning fluid might have the same compostion as it being the nearest alternative; thanks again guys!
