Need some help

Hi everyone. Here is the problem. My little one has smeared crazy glue on the face of my tank. My tank is acrylic and I have tried getting it off with Novus 1,2 & 3 with no success. Any ideas ?? Anyone have any experience with this ? A possible solvent that wont damage the acrylic.....???

Thanks,

Thane

Look up to see is acytone will damage the acrylic. If not try that. I use acytone to remove my template pvc from drilling tanks and it removes the glue from pvc and glass

Happened to my brand new acrylic tank, all I can say is your going to have to sand it and buff it, the crazy glue pretty much bonds to the acrylic, there's no other way...

it wasnt CG but some say acytone wont damage acylic and another said goof off to remove paint and it didnt damage the tank. worth a try.put a small amount of CG in spots you cant see and try these 2 products

Hey Thane...ahhh kids

To save you a little time, I just tried to get a small area of CA off of my Tenecor tank using nail polish remover...and it didn't work
I even left a piece of paper-towel soaked in acetone for about 5 minutes..and nothing happened.. (though it didn't mar the surface either)

Being someone who wears acrylic nails, I have glued my fingers to many things and what works the best to get it to release is HOT soapy water (I suggest Dawn).
When I used to work in the costume jewelry field we used Dawn by itself to soften the glues we used when we got them on things...let it soak for a few minutes.
I would try and warm the area first with a hair dryer set as hot as possible and then give the hot soapy water a try..or the acetone..or if that doesn't work..try Goo-Gone but try that on an area of the tank you can't see first!
