Do You Really Need Debonder?

[JordanFordF1]

We all see model building guides recommend debonder if you use CA glue.  Why is it important?  Opps.  Make sure you keep some handy and close.

Ernst Stavros Blofeld had several debonders, none of them were effective.

I simply can't understand some of you modelers. I've never done that. ?

I tried couple brands long time ago, and they didn't really work.  Also, some are acetone-based and can ruin kit's styrene parts.  Maybe they are good for ungluing accidentally glued fingers?

I might have some debonder somewhere, but whenever I glue my fingers together (and yes, it does happen!) I can usually get 'em apart with very careful application of an X-acto blade.

Needless to say, there are probably better ways to do it than my method ?

I don't think I've ever owned a bottle of debonder. If I stuck  my fingers together (that usually only happens when first opening a bottle), I used acetone or an X-Acto knife, depending on the thickness of the skin, where the sticking occurred! ?

One thing that works for me is finger nail polish remover, the good strong stuff not the PC kind.  However I would not use it on a model, think it would probably cause some non-reparable issues
