It can also clean up filler in gaps, reducing the amount of sanding required.
There's an article on www.aircraftresourcecenter.com in the tools and tips section under "Filling".

I wonder why it is not named as the Modelers remover.:-)
as you may see it helps a lot more than removing nail polish.

For removing super glue I use super glue debonder. Doesn't seem to attck the plastic at all. However, use carefully or the cleanup is a pain.

I have only a sparse amount of glue to remove. How much NPR do i use? How long does it take to work? I don't want to damage anything if i don't have to.
thanks,
Marc

Ensure it is the Acetone using mixture as Mr. Roo suggested.
Last time I was at the drug store killing time waiting on a prescription there was a lot fo Acetone free versions, and I was warned by the other modelers here that Acetone is the ingredient we want.
I know Home Depot sells Acetone in a HUGE can but I dont think it would work on models and putty, etc b/c I think it would be way too harsh.
