Tire glue on my Cell Phone Help

[ajames942]

Hey, i was gluing my tires and i put my cell phone down, and i get a text message and go to grab my phone and it didnt move lol. So now i have tire glue on the back of my phone and i can't get the battery out. Does anyone know what i could use on it to get it off.

You could try some CA Debonder.

would fingernail polish remover work? or maybe it would just wear off over time?

It MAY work--can't hurt. If it doesn't use the Debonder as Joe suggests....

 

[ajames942]

K i will try that

Or pure Acetone - that stuff works great.

Don't use pure acetone! Unless you want to talk through a pile of plastic dust. That stuff will eat it alive. Try using goof off or goo gone, it'll take longer but you'll have better results.

Agreed! Acetone is used to melt plastic to bond two pieces together.

Also, acetone will remove any paint that is on your phone.

Odd, the acetone I use to debond tires doesn't eat the plastic rims..... I got it in a tin can from walmart for around $6 or so.

May not be pure Acetone then. Fingernail polish remover just uses a little Acetone in its chemical composition but is safe for plastic if used sparingly. Liquid plastic model glue is partly Acetone and if you ever used that stuff you would notice that it doesn't bond like CA glue. Instead, it actually melts the plastic into a bond--at least with polystyrene.

Sounds like a perfect excuse for a new phone!

Y'know, when people text me and I'm gluing something they can just damned well wait for a reply until I'm done

Now that classic right there!

Acetone by itself will not eat most plastics. It's used in glues an paints as an accelerant in the drying process.

Yeah, haven't had an issue with acetone eating through plastic. I have my wife pick up the 100% stuff at the beauty supply store. Comes in a plastic bottle. It will dissolve super glue after a few minutes depending on how thick the glue layer is. CA Debonder is just acetone gel, so it doesn't evaporate as quick as the watery stuff.
