Got a few minties that I have had for a while that the original owner removed from the packaging and
put on display, only thing is he glued the guns in their hands, I still have two of these figures as they
were so mint , they have a slight yellow/brown glue residue on the gun hand and I wanted to know
if there was any product I could use to get it off without damaging the paint?

Try a little nail polish remover?!?!?!

That worked for my parents back in the day when I was breaking my toys!!!!!

Glue is best removed when its warm, should wipe off, maybe warm water Joe?

Or try Ednas recipe ...

Chop finely and boil for 90mins then bring to a simmer

Ill give the warm water a try Rob as it seems the safest!

Funny thing is the gun was missing when I bought it so it must have been shit glue!

I only use a light glue on my repro cards, less mess on the cardback when ya have to rip yer Ledy Fett out

For the greater good that was

Yeh i missed him anyway, looked like he needed air and a hug

Haha! Was worth it though Rob! Amazing collection of fetts!

I was sure i had more mind, ill have to hunt around on my days off, should have another Ledy Fett arrive by then

Boiling water and soap did no good, I had to scrape a bit off with a knife but don't want to damage it much so will try the nail varnish remover if I can find some in my wifes cabinet of lotions and potions!

Be very careful on any areas with paint. I believe it would take it clear off. I also remember something about it damaging plastic in the long run. I'll see if I can find some more info for sure on that.

Looks like I might just stick with the glue then lol

Damn, there must be something that works, I have no idea what kind of glue it is but it doesn't want to budge!

Here is where I read it

See those robots are good for something.

Thanks Shawn, glad I tried soap and water first I don't hate robots I just know you should sell some haha

Any other ideas then guys? I will take a long read on that thread I noticed a few suggestions further down.

Just be careful as that thread they are purposely trying to remove some paint from a figure. As far as the glue I'm not sure. I still have that bottle of goo gone that I need to send you. I don't know if that would work in a case like this or not.

Forgot about that actually ! I might leave it then to see if it works, I am due for a "care" package from you soon
