Super-Glue Residue

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

Hello,
Just curious as to if anyone knows the best solvent to use to remove super-glue residue from plastic without damaging the plastic. I had thought about Goo-Gone, but I'd heard somewhere that it eats away at the plastic. Any tips or tricks?

Not sure. However, I've never ever had a problem with Goo-Gone on plastics.

This stuff is what I use for removing label residue. Pretty good stuff, costs about $9 a bottle.

I generally use this stuff (that I've named magic in a bottle) called Mostenbocker's LIFT OFF 4 Acrylic Enamel and spray paint Paint Remover. The wonderful thing about this stuff is that it can clean up the edge of the blister from a GI JOE figure with out damaging the plastic. It's great for customizing carded figures. It is also good for cleaning up spills and messes. It's water based and won't harm plastic. It can also remove super glue residue even through decal. It comes in a 4.5 oz bottle. I found mine at Pearl's.
