It seems lacquer thinner can remove CA. What glue is impervious to lacquer thinner?

2

Plastic resin glue is “resistant” to lacquer thinner but not impervious. I doubt any adhesive can stand up to it for long.

MEK melts the plastic pieces together so technically there’s no glue to be destroyed by lacquer thinner.

There are primers that withstand lacquer, so priming a completed model is one way to paint with lacquer. Also, I find a hot lacquer usually affects the styrene if the model before it affects the glue.

I’m trying to glue the tip of an interdental brush to a syringe needle to make an airbrush cleaner that can easily go inside an airbrush (Don’s airbrush article mentions this).

I’ll use lacquer thinner to clean my ABs and I don’t want the tip of an interdental brush to fall off inside my ABs!

Because the amount of lacquer thinner needed to clean ABs is very small, I guess it’s OK to use CA, but I’m not 100% sure.

Epoxy might hold up a little better than CA for the time in thinner.

Anyone know what CA debonder is (chemical)?

nitromethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, and methylene chloride all have an effect. Acetone (nail varnish remover) works well and is cheaper/easier to get hold of with out a licence

MSDS says Dimethylformamide, whatever that is.
