What Should I Use to Take Off My Gun?

[trinity]

I have a gun that is super glued to the cockpit door of my zoid, is there a way to take it off so that I can pain it and if so, what do I use?

[Hi my name is]

how glued is it? if its glued flat surface to flat surface you could use an xacto knife to carefully pry it off, then sand area smooth again and paint ,then sand the glued side of gun and paint that, then gulem back together after they are painted and dryed

I may be wrong, so someone please verify this.

I heard somewhere that nailpolish remover is good for getting glue off of stuff, though I'm not entirly sure what that would do to the plastic and/or paint.

Ok, thanx for the suggestion. I can't paint it right now though, I'm just trying to get some ideas so that when I do I'll be all ready to go. I've just started my 2nd custom today, hopefully it will turn out better that the first.

Make sure that you test out any nail polish remover because a majority of them use acetone which is a solvent and may melt the plastic. They have non-acetone based nail polish remover available.

Like I said over AIM, get a knife, and pop that sucka. Since super glue doesnt melt and bond parts, just sticks, after enough cuttin at the seam, you should be able to pull it off. If you undercut however, you might snap the gun, so pull it's base.

Thanx everyone. I'll try them eventually, I'm a bit busy right now.
