  1. Once again I'm here pushing finger nail polish remover. I made a post a few minutes ago about useing polish remover for killing glue, it can also be used for taking crome off, but like I said before you have got to watch this stuff because it WILL eat the part if you don't watch out. Hope this helps.
  2. Hello, I'm new here but I saw this post and thought I could help out. The freezing thing sounds good but I don't know about you guys but I like something a little faster. I found a product zap??? sorry I don't have it in front of me. Anyway! the first thing that jumps out at you when you open this stuff is the smell. It smells very baddly of paint thinner. Now straight thinner is too strong, however fingernail polish remover is a thinner version of paint thinner if you will. EVEN though it's watered down for lack of a better term it will still eat your model if you use too much at once. So to disolve glue both model and supper glue use an eye dropper and drip it onto the glue and the glue is eatten. As an example: I used finger nail polish remover to un-crome the fin of a 57 bell air and forgot it over night. The next day the fin was currled upin the bottom of the jarlike a ribbon. Needless to say it was useless. Not only does polish remover good for killing glue it also does nicely as removing old paint from parts. but again this stuff eats plastic so keep a very close eye on your parts. I hope this helps.
