Sorry to say this but superglue is nigh on imposible to remove after its set, try using 1 of the glues recomended by the other victory builders who are doing the copper tiling regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

I used the recomended Bostic solvent free glue Any excess squashed up onto a tile I removed with the tip of my craft knife when it was drying after about 15 mins. My main problem is seperating the tiles before I stick them on. I have tried craft knife with magnifying glass, rubber gloves and rubber thimbles for money counting. Any help with this would be appreciated. First Build HMS Victory and HMS Endeavour Also Krick steam boat "Victoria" Cheers Ivan (Ordinary Seaman) http://www.old-glossop.com

Glue issue. Really recommend not using supper glue it present so many issues. Neat PVA is working tremendously for me very easy to remove. I suggest lifting the tiles and sanding the glue smooth then start again. Separating Tiles that stick together. if you pinch one end of the tiles then rub your thumb and finger on the over end across the width of the tiles they should fan out. “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Thanks Jason Using your method I have seperated about 80% of the tiles I had not been able to get apart. I was trying to nip them and pull them length way.

Looks like a good product, might try that on my fingers.   “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
