After soaking my finger in acetate, I managed to partially dismantle the little vase. It then took another 5 minutes of soaking and gentle prising to get the bead off my finger. Another 5 minutes was spent soaking my fingers even further to get all of the glue off.
I used tweezers to reattach the vase to its base the next time lol
@Suzanne_Jones oh no! lol. I mean that’s a bummer but I genuinely laughed for having. Done this as well. Lol. Now I just use super glue on items that need some more encouragement haha
Oh no… this happens to me all the time too! Super glue has such a watery consistency, so it really tends to run or slide off when you apply it to tiny pieces. What I usually do is lay the piece flat or prop it up on something so gravity won’t cause it to slip or drip. Other times, I lift the piece up and put a piece of paper underneath to catch any fresh glue that drips
Yep, that’s happened to me too! It’s amazing how quickly super glue finds its way where you don’t want it. I’m glad you were able to rescue the vase, and thanks for sharing the tip about using tweezers the second time around.
I couldn’t believe it Dave. I thought I was being so careful and super glue was my last resort on this. And then when I went to out the vase down, I found that I couldn’t lol
I had tried at least three different glues and none of them were working for me, so I pulled out the superglue. I don’t normally use it and I thought I was being careful ha ha
THIS! Yes! @Minus_88 …This is why my love for ROKR (wooden models) will never die. Glue is needed only if you break something. You learn to have patience and follow the steps to avoid doing so.
