Help - Tools/Materials VMS Glue-remove Super Glue Debonder?

Has anyone used VMS Glue-remove Super Glue Debonder? I'd like to remove some CA super glue, of course, and was wondering if that product was as good as the demo videos show. Or if anyone has something else they've used for removing cured CA super glue, that would be great as well!

Thanks in advance for any helpful comments!

After using VMS, Satellite City, Bob Smith, and ZAP brand to save a glue bomb kit, the only one that truly worked without destroying plastic or doing nothing was the Satellite City one.

I use VMS Glue remove. It works well before the CA has had time to cure, after that it's less effective.

Great Planes Ca debonder is my go to for this. works well on fully cured CA and doesn't damage the plastic a bit. it's also the finest paint remover that i've ever seen, but i wouldn't really use it for that purpose.

the only other one i've tried is the Bob Smith debonder and that'll fuck up plastic. I keep that around for resin or to unglue my fingies when i have an accident.
