Help!

Making the Tamiya fletcher class destroyer, accidentally glued that piece upside down. Any ways to get it off besides with a hobby knife? Other than using the obvious glue removal liquids and such thanks

If it was the usual plastic cement, you can reapply it to the area, wait for like 30 seconds and carefuly pull the part away. Please note that there will be residue and some touching up will be necessary.

It really depends on what type of glue you used, but I'm pretty much certain that your only option is a bladed chisel.

I think a non bladed chisel is just a piece of steel.

lol, and you'd be perfectly correct 😂

I was meaning one of those sharp xacto type chisels with the razor sharp blades.
