My huron blackheart has some super glue in the arrows on his hand , and for a repaint i'm doing i need it out , should i strip it using meths or is there something else i could do ?
Thanks

not much really.

waiting games you're easiest option, as superglue does tend to peel off after a while.

anyway, as for other options- I can suggest only one.

try a dettol bath (or equivalent alcahol based first aid peice that doubles as a paint stripper) and if you're lucky, it will strip the glue off a little.

(happened to my tech marine. those F**king underarm weapons are difficult.)

hope that helps.

PS: tutorials is more for if you've got a method for something and you want to share. post to painting questions in future. (first semi-forum)

Huron is metal, right? If so, just give him a soak in acetone/fingernail polish and he should be right as rain.

/don't do this with plastics, obv.

I would second the acetone. I have been using it to strip metal Sisters of Battle and everything that has glue on it basically just falls apart and its really easy to pick off all the excess glue.

The stuff that has glue on it come off fine its just bits of glue are making painting diffict , thanks though guys.

Acetone will melt superglue and plastic. The easiest source of acetone is nail polish remover. Check the ingredients in case it is one of the new, organic non-acetone types.
