mpk Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Hi guys. I used a Quick boost jig when I put this spitfire together. The angle, is this correct? They appear to droop back toward the cockpit. I used Slo-zap CA. If the angle is off, how best to unglued it? Does acetone damage resin? Thanks guys. I have until the 6th to complete this birthday gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Ouch your propeller has droop back. I would first try a debonder. Acetone I feel will be too aggressive. You may have to nick (saw) the prop and glue them in the precise proper propeller position. (Wowa say that 10 time really fast). Do not cut them off the hub. Touch up the saw grove with CA glue. mpk and Anthony in NZ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick it in the freezer for a few hours: "Freezing causes the water molecules trapped in the superglue bond to expand, creating microfractures which weaken the bond enough that simple torsion is often enough to break the bond."

coogrfan Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I've found that it's best to freeze and thaw 2-3 times before trying to separate parts. Rick Griewski and Uncarina 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
