is there any way to remove superglue from a plastic action figure?

Question

HALO 2 action figure had peice glued on crooked. i need to remove it and reglue it straight

Answer 1

They do sell super glue remover. Acetone based nail polish remover works also, but it will remove the paint from the plastic. You may be stuck with a crooked guy.

Answer 2

Super glue may be able to be removed by first applying mineral oil around the affected area. Let set for 3 days. Glue may then be able to be "flicked off" with a pointed razor blade knife.

Answer 3

I too have had action figure glue issues. I eventually peel it off or work it off bit by bit. It takes a while I would NOT use remover if you are trying to restore or improve it.

Answer 4

I'm not sure on any method at all, but I suppose you coul try using different materials like nail polish and maybe some paint. Like I said, I'm no sure so do not try these unless you have had no other ideas or no one else responded with a better answer.

Answer 5

Maybe fingernail polish remover, but it will probably strip the paint from the action figure also.

Answer 6

You could try sawing it off, but that might be too dangerous. Best bet is probably just getting another figure, and check to make sure all the parts are on there right.

Answer 7

yes try soaking the toy in warm water this will make the glue a little, if not that try using finger polish or once it is soft just Peel it off

Answer 8

Answer 9
