I have deconstructed a couple resin kits that needed more patience to get right. One thing i found is being able to "gently" tweak a small screw driver on the seams; another way is with a new razor blade and a lot of slow motion; and the trusty exacto blade which can be slid along a seam. It takes time and patience. If you hurry the task, it gets bigger to repair. Once you get it apart, remember to lightly sand off the CA residue to insure a complete bond when reassembling. Thankfully, I have not had to remove minute details. Others on this list may have better ideas on this one. Most time when it happens to me, I end up drilling tiny holes and insetring wire stiffeners to hold everything together. Hope this helps with your question.

Jim Fellows ------------ -- Original message ------------ -- From: John Golden <golden1014@yahoo. com> Gentlemen, I have a Sunshine box car kit (Seaboard DD auto car) that did not go together well. I need to de-bond the ACC I used to fix the roof to the sides. Does anyone have any foolproof ideas on how to debond the ACC? Yes, I've used ACC de-bonder, and I've tried freezing it, but nothing's worked. Thanks!
