Help with super glue..

[Trigcure]

So, i superglued the clip on my kershaw zing, to make it stop wiggleing. it worked, but i just swapped the clip to the other end, any way i can get the glue off without messing up the plastic scale? And yes, i'll use locktite next time, i promise!

Just type "super glue remover" into your search engine. You will get tons of hits. Acetone is the most common remover.

I think acetone would melt the plastic scale he was talking about.

The Kershaw Zing is advertised as having Polyimide scales. Most Polyimide plastics are very resistant to acetone. Acetone should dissolve the cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue) long before affecting the polyimide.

Loctite IS superglue (cyanoacrylate)...just different formulations and viscosity from your average Dollar Store 'superglue'.
