EDIT: Also, it's not a good idea to deliberately put plastic glue on your fingers, as n-butyl acetate can cause pretty serious skin irritation. I use a piece of very fine wire (from a terrain/expanded polystyrene cutter) to unblock the glue applicator needle.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10175368.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10175368.page GMT
If it's only slight effect Duskweaver's comment about smoothing and then use paint to cover it. If it's only slight damage it might not going to be jumping out among full squad.

Be careful with plastic glue in future. If the thing is clogged don't push hard(least you experience fountain of glue...) and avoid getting it on fingers as that will result in melt effect on wrong parts...The glue is nice in that result is very solid and hard to break. Bad thing is because of WHY that good result comes it's possible to also ruin your model.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10175385.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10175385.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10175819.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10175819.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10175842.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10175842.page GMT
1) A pair of nose pliers or clippers (carefully you're only holding it not squeezing it) can be used to hold the metal rod on a plastic glue pot. Just hold that over a match or lighter flame for a few moments to burn out any plastic glue that has dried in the nozzle.
It doesn't take long, one match's life is about all you need if that

2) Let the plastic glue dry fully, trying to remove plastic glue only leads to messy stringy sticky messes that are even worse to clean up if you make a mistake.

3) Once its dry assess the damage, careful use of a metal blade to scrape away excess can work; you might have to scrape away a bit more and then rebuild with greenstuff if the detail damage isn't too bad. A file can also be used, but keep in mind plastic is soft and areas of thick glue even softer so it will clog up very fast (brass bristle brush can be used to clean out regular files or if you are using a diamond file use a regular rubber to rub over the file to clear the gunk).

4) Take it slow and focus on scraping/cleaning away as little as possible each time. It's easier to take more time cleaning away less than it is to take the short cut and slice off large chunks that then prove to be too much.




I've still got a khinerai wing to fix where I got a blob of glue on the table and didn't notice and the wing landed on it. Scraping away the excess did restore some of the quality, though rather like your situation its caseof careful cleaning and then assessing how bad the damage is.
Sometimes you can get away with it being battle damage or even a mutation et c....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10175846.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10175846.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10180075.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/764740/10180075.page GMT
