Superglue

Post by Haggis » Wed Feb 15, 2012 3:04 pm

Hi!
Is it possible to dissolve a super glue joint? I super glued my pearl inlay because it broke but I need to redo that.

I haven´t glued the inlay to the guitar....just glued the pieces back together.

Acetone will do the trick, even some finger nail polish removers will work if "oil free".

Doesn't lacquer thinner remove CA as well? Since this is a piece of pearl, you can sit it in a bath of lacquer thinner or acetone and let the solvent do the work. Then come back after a cup of coffee and voila! Your work has come unglued!

I´ve put it in a solvent and I´ll leave it there over night. I read that it might take 12 h if the super glue is hardened.....and I glued it together a month ago or so.
thanks for the replies

12 hours you say? That's going to be a big cup of coffee!
