Disassembling Ares Ships

Wait, I think the ships are styrene, and I think Chris had found that you can use acetone as a cement.

Well, it's all about learning.

Yes, if the ships are styrene and not some other type of plastic the acetone will likely not work. It would probably just soften the glue a bit and then 're glue' the ships. Acetone or airbrush cleaner (with acetone) are used for cementing styrene.

Here's some additional information I found on the Loctite website concerning removal of super glue. https://www.loctiteproducts.com/en/k...uper-glue.html

For Plastic: Lay a damp cloth over the glued area and secure it tightly. Alternately, soak the glue in vegetable oil or diluted vinegar. Let it sit for a few hours to allow the glue to moisten. Blot the glue with acetone or rubbing alcohol and let this substance break down the glue. Clear away with a damp cloth.

I'm getting an itchy chemistry finger. When the experiments begin, I'll keep you posted.
