acaron41120 Posted June 9, 2022 #1 Posted June 9, 2022 Helping a friend who got ahead of himself on a build. Five runners were glued to the wrong side of a cabin piece with Gorilla Glue. How can I remove the Gorilla Glue? thibaultron and mtaylor 2 Quote Allen Current Builds: Mayflower - 1:60; Golden Hind - 1:50 Past Builds: Marie Jeanne, Bluenose, Bluenose II, Oseberg, Roar Ege, Waiting to Build: Swift
Jaager Posted June 9, 2022 #2 Posted June 9, 2022 The company that manufactures Gorilla "glue" uses Gorilla as the name for just about every type of adhesive that is available to the general public - including CA, PVA, rubber cement,.... If the original Gorilla glue is the subject of your inquiry - it is a water activated polyurethane. Once cured (fully polymerized) from what I can discover, a very sharp chisel is about to only way to reverse it. The lack of a reverse gear as well as the cure behavior (I think it foams) has this adhesive as one that is a very very bad choice for anything involving scale modeling. allanyed, thibaultron and mtaylor 3 Quote NRG member 50 years Current: NMS HMS Ajax 1767 - 74-gun 3rd rate - 1:192 POF exploration - works but too intense -no margin for error HMS Centurion 1732 - 60-gun 4th rate - POF Navall Timber framing HMS Beagle 1831 refiit 10-gun brig with a small mizzen - POF Navall (ish) Timber framing The U.S. Ex.

acaron41120 Posted June 11, 2022 Author #3 Posted June 11, 2022 Couldn't find a way to remove the glue without damage so after discussing it with my friend, he decided to just make a new set of parts. Thanks for the assistance. Now back to the second layer of planking for my Mayflower build. mtaylor and thibaultron 2 Quote Allen Current Builds: Mayflower - 1:60; Golden Hind - 1:50 Past Builds: Marie Jeanne, Bluenose, Bluenose II, Oseberg, Roar Ege, Waiting to Build: Swift
