Bullitt Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I am working on a '71 Hemi Cuda and when glueing the rear view mirrors to the doors, I got glue on the door. Any suggestions on what to use to remove the excess glus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Is it a little or a lot? If it's a little, I just try to cover it up to the best of my ability... If it's a lot, you may have to sand it smooth after it dries and repaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Depends on what kind of glue, how much, & what kind of paint. I've had instances where I've gotten a small amount of "super" type glue on one of my usual automotive lacquer paint jobs, and I just polished it out. Worked just fine.

karbuildr Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I agree with Steve. If it's a small spot, you can try using a Q-tip with a little Novus #2 (or equivalent) polish and work out the glue smear with gentle polishing. I've successfully managed to polish out a small super glue smear using this technique. It might work with regular styrene glue smears also.

Bullitt Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 It's not a lot, but on both sides of the car, Testor's model glue. This is the first model I have built in over 30 years, so the old hands aren't as steady as they used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
