super glue on the windshield

[Roy L Frost III]

just finished the Meng Audi R8 LMS GT3 model and discovered a spot of glue on the windshield. I can't seem to remember the method of removing it, I assume there is. Hope you fellow modelers can help me.

If the model is assembled, you might be up a creek. If the windscreen has been heavily waxed, you might be able to scrape it of with a chisel shaped toothpick or similar, though in my experience CA adhesion is not affected by wax. The only real CA removal method I know of is to sand the glass until the glue is gone, then polish back to clear & shiny. Obviously, a clean job of it can't be done on a finished build.

There’s a number of different superglue de-bonders and removers for just this purpose. 
 

It’s advised to check the compatibility with the plastic on a piece of clear sprue before applying to the affected part.

And if you do have to sand and polish, you might consider a tip I've read somewhere on this forum to support the "glass" with a lump of clay to help prevent it from cracking/ breaking.

If it is in a corner... I'd go with an STP sticker over it.

thanks for all your responses,its small but you know how it is, you notice it more than other people would., I did get some off, considered sanding feared the thing breaking so I am leaving it alone rather making it worse

Other then replacing it that’s your best choice..
