For super glue, hot water works. Ask any nurse !

Freezing also makes it brittle which can help. What needs debonding?

Acetone is basically the constituent of most superglue debonders, so nail varnish remover will do the same job.

But you'll need to watch it doesn't dissolve paintwork below.

Also get it wet and use the ice expanding frost effect.

cheers for the tips everyone!

i'll try the freezer first

its only a tiny bit of glue, i'll just make the area concerned damp and then put it in the freezer overnight...

cheers
