Testing Superglue Removal From Uneven Plastic Surfaces - Part 2 Using Heat

This video is Part 2 of a 9 Part series Investigating Superglue Removal From Uneven Plastic Surfaces and has come about after many requests from subscribers to find a solution to the problem of spilling Superglue on their Android Phones, Tablets and Computers.  In this video I experiment with a heat gun, dental scrapers and plastic razor blade to de-bond and remove the Superglue from my deliberately damaged Google Nexus 7 tablet back panel, hopefully leaving the minimum of mess or damage. #fixed1tresearch

Superglue Removal Experiment - Why The Nexus 7 Case

I've been asked why I close the Google ASUS Nexus 7 case on which to apply eight drops of superglue, so I can try to remove them.

In my view, for my experiment to be even remotely scientific it needs to be:

reproducible
use available resources
straight forward
have an end point
work to a goal

Nexus 7 android tablets are readily available. Although the inside of the case is smooth plastic, the back outer surface is a kind of rubberised material and has a rubber like feel.  This surface is definitely rough and is likely to absorb and hold the bonded Superglue.  It may even have its surface covering compromised and changed by the superglue.

Here are the 8 individual drops, magnified significantly:

Superglue Droplet 1

Superglue Droplet 2

Superglue Droplet 3

Superglue Droplet 4

Superglue Droplet 5

Superglue Droplet 6

Superglue Droplet 7

Superglue Droplet 8

So there are the 8 drops of bonded superglue.  Number 8 is my control and when all other things have been tested I will then try a proprietary superglue remover.

Removing Superglue From Uneven Plastic Surfaces - Part 1 The Experiment

This video is Part 1 of a 9 Part series Investigating Superglue Removal From Uneven Plastic Surfaces and has come about after many requests from subscribers to find a solution to the problem of spilling Superglue on their Android Phones, Tablets and Computers.  In this video I explain the experiment which undertakes to de-bond and remove the Superglue from my deliberately damaged Google Nexus 7 tablet back panel, leaving the minimum of mess or damage. #fixed1tresearch



If you haven't watched the video to the end ;-) then you will have missed the link to Part 2 in this experiment, don't worry I've put the link below:

Second Sony AIBO 210 From South Korea Has Neck Damaged In Transit

I'm having real difficulties getting a working Sony AIBO delivered without it being damaged by the shipping company,  the first ERS-210 I bought had a broken neck and various other problems, this one was working when the seller made his YouTube Video, but broken by the time it arrived at my home.







I need to develop the knowledge to fix these ASAP as there are very few people who do it and nobody in the UK.  If you previously repaired these and live in the UK I love to speak with you.
