flyboy1011 Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) So I was re-glueing my grip on the throttle last night because the hairspray wasn't working out and decided to go with some super glue this time. long story short, i put too much on and as i was sliding the grip onto the throttle tube some dripped down onto the plastic right below the handle bar. I quickly tried wiping it up, but that actually made it worse. Now I have about a 2" diameter layer of dried superglue on my plastic. Is there any hope or did i really screw the pooch on this one?

flounder Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Mistake 1... Hairspray and not grip glue.. Mistake 2... Superglue and not grip glue.. Mistake 3... Not covering up other areas in case of spill. Solution... Redo your grips correctly and call AttackPainter for your plastics.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most SuperGlue's have acetone in it so it most likely melted the plastics a bit. Thats part of the chemical process that makes it work so well on plastic.

KL9 F4i Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Some scrubbing with lacquer thinner or some stuff called prosol...I work at a sign shop and we use prosol for getting glue off different things...and I know another sign guy that has used lacquer thinner on vehicles and has no problem with getting tough crap off...idk how lacquer works on plastic though... either of these may work? Haven't really dealt with getting super glue off of something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
