removing superglue containing clay residue ?
Hi, hope this is on-topic enough for this group !
I have a glass "sleeping man" figure from S.E. Asia that someone has "tarted up" to try and make look like it's old rock crystal. The fakers do this by buying genuinely old clay amulets of several colors, powdering them into a few different granularities, and then applying the clay with superglue into crevices, creases, etc. Fortunately I've been around enough to know glass (it's heavy leaded glass, probably 10-25 years old), and I paid a reasonable price for the piece. I very much want to clean out all the superglue bound clay. Ideas ? Gasoline, paint remover, toxic waste ? many thanks, Orang37 |

Yeah, it's not really fair, is it. Usually, if I have my wits together (which is not always...) I try to refrain from answering a post I've just approved, in order to let others do so, and thus promote a decent conversation. When I jump in right away, it tends to kill that. Sorry about that. I'll try to be better... Peter |
