Re: seperating workpiece cyno
|
Too right! I had a gallon (1.25 US gallons) can of acetone, nearly full. It?lurked?untouched in the garage for 30 years. When I eventually needed some, it was empty. The top surface?had gone rusty (condensation, probably) and there were one or two pinholes through it.

Make sure you put the acetone lid back on TIGHT!
I went to get a can down that was only two months old,and it was empty.
The lid tightened up with about a 1/16 of a turn.
Hard to believe that most of a quart evaporated out of that cap.

Hardware stores sell acetone in quart cans quite cheaply.? One can should last a lifetime of CA removal and removal of your wife's nail polish.

?Borrow somebody's Nail Polish Remover. Make sure it is acetone based. Given a little soak time it'll turn the glue into goo, and separation & clean up gets easy after that. My first experience with Super Glue () for work holding, was making two headed (and two tailed) coins. Held a lot better than I expected. If I were to offer advice to anyone it would be to simply follow the directions - using too much glue is as bad or worse than not using enough. A small drop goes a long way...!
?My wife hit the local Dollar Store and picked up a couple bottles of acetone based Nail Polish Remover for, you guessed it, $1 each. Will probably last for quite awhile yet, since I can use the bottle cap to soak the coins in, so it doesn't take very much. (I glued coins to the end of a short length of a freshly faced steel bar, then used a dial indicator to center the coin in my 4-jaw chuck). Afterwards I just stood the bar vertically on the coin end which was sitting in a cap full of nail polish remover, and let it soak for awhile...

I saw a few weeks back guys using cyno superglue to attach small pieces to dress them up,someone was turning both sides of a narrow washer, I cant remember how to seperate the turned piece.
I glued some 2 inch ali bar it held good , now ?its still held good .
I tried hitting it with a plastic mallet , wondering If I should soak it, hoping the cyno will break down.
