Do you guys have any suggestions for how to remove fixed glass pieces? It’s glued in place very securely, and I can’t pry it out no matter what I do. Do you know if there’s any solvents that would dissolve the glue but not harm the plastic? I want to refinish the glass to get rid of all the scratches.
These are good suggestions! I would also expect acetone to be a poor choice in this scenario. I worked as a chemist for a while, but I didn’t do any organic stuff as a professional, so it’s all very hazy memories from orgo 1 and 2.
I have plenty of test pieces.
IPA sounds like a great idea, I’ll start with that.
Cool. For my electronics work, IPA works wonders with silicone-based adhesives. (I’ll generally use a syringe and strategically drip it between the adhesive and the surface.)
If, by chance, you run into any PET/PETG plastics, i think pure IPA can start to chew at those if enough heat is involved. It’s not nearly as dramatic as ABS/acetone though.
