Acetone should work. Get it from chemist. Other option is Autosol metal polish from motorcycle shop. Give your parts a nice rub at the same time. Make them all shiny.

 

Acetone did not work, used a brush to paint the parts today. The paint started to blister but the glue will not dissolve. I suppose that after I used the Autosol, the bike can be hanged in the workshop as a momento?

I would recommend the following, based on previous experience and extensive research:

 

Superglue works using a crystalisation process. An easy, but not well know method of separating the bonding crystals formed is by means of sound waves. Use a set of earphones at full blast and move it over the bonded spot until you can feel it coming loose. It may take up to half an hour or more.

 

You cant be serious!! Seriously?

I paint cars for a living, have had many clients come in with similiar problems, sorry to disappoint you but I have yet to find something that can remove dried superglue from a paint job. Even when it's still wet and you try to wipe it off it still leaves its mark.

Supposing that your theory could work it would have to be some music with a pitch that would excite the resonance of the super glue which is going to be quite low Im guessing... possibly something an earphone couldn't play... Some sort of sonic treatment might work, but I'm wagering on some non-normal speakers and stuff.

Which is why I'm going the binaural beats route. If anything via regular speakers can work, binaural beats is the theory behind it.

Sorry, I did not read the whole thread, but you get debonder, specially for super glue. Try a good hobby shop or give me a shout if you don't come right. Aerial concepts usually have.

Ask for Dean, sure he will know how to undo the good clean and fresh wash... :)
