Hey all, I was wondering if any of you guys know how to disolve superglus from a metal model?? I was right on the middle of an Iron Fang Pikeman converstion, that has suddenly gone awry! I wasn't paying attention when I was replacing the pike with some brass rod now I have two pikemen holding their pikes backwards.... Anyway I feel really dumb, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Which brand glue did you use? Most companies also make a debonder that slowly dissolves the glue and makes it easier to remove. But I've also found that the bond on metal is generally very weak....so a lot of times you can just break the glue seam apart, and scrape the remains of the glue off with a knife. If you're lucky, it will just flake off.
