Okay so you done the dumb thing and somehow managed to glue a couple of things together with Superglue that you did not want to. What next. The dumbies guide to resolving the problem.
1
Stop. Don't Panic and do not do anything rash.
2
Go and make some Coffee and clean a space on you workbench. Put some clean paper on the workbench.
Do not use the Dining Table or anything else that could be damaged! Be also aware that the Acetone will dissolve all sorts of things including plastic and French Polish!
3
Get a small brush. Those who are brave enough could try raiding the wifes/childrens art supplies.
4
Get hold of some Acetone.
The Safety Warning
Before you open the bottle. Read the safety instructions and note that Acetone is a nasty Chemical. Take adequate Safety precautions. Note also Acetone will de-fat your skin. Out with the Barrier Cream - yep, I've had Industrial Dermatitis.
5
Using the paint brush apply Acetone to the area were the Super glue has done its job. The Acetone will flow into small cracks etc. under capillary action. Wait 20 seconds or so and give it another coat. Pull the pieces apart. If it doesn't come easily apply some more Acetone.
6
Now that you have got it apart. Clean with a cloth moistened with Acetone.
7
Re-assemble everything.
8
Go and have a celebratory drink. A Cappucino is always a good choice.
You will have successfully been a "Klutz" and "de-Klutzed" yourself.
