I was building a covered dummy tank for my dio using a Sherman shaped master build out of plasticard and I wanted to cover it with silk.

I used superglue to stick the silk to the master and it worked like a charm, but .... I don’t like it in that way that the edges of the silk don't look convincing to me, so I nee do remove the silk from the master. But how.

I tried to gently cut it apart using a fresh clean scalpel, bit that dos not seem to work without damaging the master to much.

Is there a method for softening the superglue?

Use nail polish remover.

Nail polish remover ? Won't that EAT your plasticard ? ? ?

The active ingredient is acetone. If you let it sit on the plastic for a long period of time, it could.
Just dab the area with a "q-tip" and prod it with somthing like a tooth pick to remove the affected area, piece, etc.. Than wipe clean.
It will remove paint and decals too.

Tnx Kencelot,

worked perfect :-) :-)

Some nailpolish removers do not contain acetone now so be careful of what you buy. I got a bottle of acetone (technical) from the chemist at twice the amount for half the price. Also beware it does eat plastic and resin real quick.
