Hello all,
So, I bought some brick from a woman in San Diego. Of the sets she sent me, two
were glued together with superglue! It appears, from the few pieces that have
fallen off, that the kid only glued the base of one brick onto the top of the
other, meaning he didn't put glue on the studs themselves (thank god).
But, I decided to do a little experiment . . . I did a worse case senario and
superglued the heck out of two standard 2x4 red bricks (I got billions). I
glued the bases and the studs, but staggered them by two studs. Then, I put the
glued bricks in an acetone bath for a few minutes.
The results were very sad. The bricks did NOT come undone. They actually
MELTED! Not completely, but the colors ran into each other, the plastic had
softened.
Not good.
Sooooooo. Anyone have any ideas for how I can take these sets apart? I don't
really have any experience with superglue because, well, I play with Lego, which
doesn't need any glue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated . . .
Oh, and BTW, they were sets 6057 and 6074, Sea Serpent and Wolf Pack Tower.
Complete, but glued :(
