Steve;

  I'm not a chemist, but I am an R/C nut. I fly R/C planes and heli's.
In the winter, the way to have fun is flying indoor, or building balsa
planes. I built an electric high wing trainer plane a few years ago
using CA for the first time. When I glued in the engine mount
improperly, I had to use CA de-bonder to remove & install it correctly.
I use Great Planes and Hot Stuff CA glues, activators, and de-bonders.
The Hot Stuff de-bonder contains nitroalkanes along with alcohol. Back
then, I only paid around $4 for a 2oz. bottle of the debonder. I usually
order my supplies through Tower Hobbies, located in Champlain IL. 

  Here is there website: http://towerhobbies.com/

  This is the CA de-bonder I use:
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXM379&P=0

  It's only $6.69 for a 2 oz. bottle.

  Here are the other de-bonders Tower sells:

  Tower sells a de-bonder with their label in a 2oz. bottle for $3.99.

Subject: Solvent for cured cyanoacrylate adhesive

Mornin' all,
 
I have a question for the chemists out there about the solvent used to
clean-up cured cyanoacrylate adhesives. Loctite sells a solvent called
768 X-NMS Solvent that works pretty well, but it is expensive. Anywhere
from $20.00 to $37.00 for a little 1.75 ounce bottle depending on where
you buy it.
 
I do know that it is composed mainly of nitromethane with a little bit
of toluene according to the MSDS. My question is; I can get a gallon of
nitromethane at a high-performance auto parts store store nearby for
$50.00 a gallon, would pure nitromethane do the job? Or do I need to add
the toluene as well? 
 
The MSDS gives a range of percentages of both components, but is kind of
vague:

I'm just trying to save a little money is all...
 
Steve
