Removing Kristal Klear

[Olle F]

I made a terrible mistake when I was assembling some chrome parts with Kristal Klear, and didn't realize it until the glue was completely dry. I need to disassemble and clean the parts so I'm wondering if it's as simple as soaking the whole assembly in water, or is there more to it? They say that it's waterproof when dry, but I don't want to damage the chrome with any chemicals so I'm hoping there's a safe solution for this.

I've always been able to just peel it of when dry, but I use it for mock up purposes.

I think water resistant might be a better description. peeling it away works for me too, in most situations, but hot water will definitely soften the glue

Ok, it might not be as bad as I thought then. I know that you can peel it off by just scraping with a toothpick, your fingernail etc, but I was afraid of damaging the chrome. I might just soak it in hot water for a while, and then scrape it off.
