wtatsch[501st] Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) I am almost done with my BHT but have run into a few problems. What is the best way to remove glue and is there a touch paint I can use?

Darth Agnon[501st] Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 What type of glue? Link to comment
RaiderNick[TX] Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 It's its hot glue, e6000 or any other type of rubber cement you can scrap it off easily. If it is abs cement or similar you are screwed. Link to comment
Darth Agnon[501st] Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 try some rubbing alcohol. Maybe let the area soak in it if possible. You can also try goo-gone. There is an industrial strength goo-gone but be careful with it on the plastic because it can melt it. Actually, could you show us a picture of the accident area? Link to comment
Griffin-X[501st] Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The have seen Super Glue turn black ABS sort of white-ish in color. A pic would help us, help you. Link to comment

RaiderNick[TX] Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That's actually worse looking than I thought. I wouldn't use alcohol on that it might ruin the finish. Honestly I don't know how to remove it without making it look work, hopefully someone else has a better suggestion. Link to comment
wtatsch[501st] Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 Starting to breath again the scratch and polish that came with my kit seems to be helping Link to comment

Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 ABS glue isn't totally screwed, but it will require severe sanding. Honestly, super glue is not ideal anywhere in your armor. Stick with E6000 for most things. Holds well and can be xacto'd off if need be. That out of the way, I would try to carefully etch the superglue off carefully. You will likely need to sand back to its original shine. I am assuming this is on a hard part? Link to comment
