http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net SM. particulary the old ones. I dont use the predator and the whirlwind that much. So I want to unglue the hatches, MAG them so they can be rhinos/razorbacks/anything else.
Anyone have an idea on how to do this? Or atleast soften the bond? I heard more glue will do the trick, but I dont want to screw it up.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8644165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8644165.page GMT
or do you mean polystyrene cement as in GW glue

because polyurethane might come off with iso alcohol

if you are talking about solvent glue like GW plastic glue or any other plastic glue. then you are SOL

generally GW glue is going to be weaker as there is often additives IIRC. older formulas had issues. you might get away with cutting the seam with a knife and prying it apart. but otherwise you are going to probably need to cut them apart. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8644179.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8644179.page GMT GW glue maye.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8644203.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8644203.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8644577.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8644577.page GMT

Unlike PVA, superglue, epoxy, etc, you don't have two parts with a layer of glue in between. The cement melts the plastic and welds the pieces together. The hull and hatch are now one piece. You'll just have to cut the turret mount pice away carefully.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8645015.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8645015.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8646303.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8646303.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8646315.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8646315.page GMT
Have a Mk1 rhino and predator here I'm slowly working on, about half of the disassembly was done by freezing, some bits stuck fast though.

Have you thought on an eBay salvage job to get some spare parts, then just cut the hatches away.. replaced with hatches cut free from a wreaked vehicle bought cheaply?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8646333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8646333.page GMT
I have found that although the cement does wels the two pieces it my not be a complete joint (bubbling/parts not meeting) and the joint itself cane be a bit softer than the surrounding plastic.

You will not get a clean split and it is possible to tear the surrounding plastic if it bonds fully, so try to do this with the minimum of force and use your knife as much as possible.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8647807.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/690359/8647807.page GMT
