WASCO and some of the other supliers sell cryo glue remover. I haven't used it before but I have seen it in the catalogs. Good luck

Use some nail polish remover. won't hurt a thing and also works when you glue your fingers together...which will happen.


Dont use acetone on acrylic.

By the way, nail polish remover is acetone. Acetone will eat acrylic. Much of the finger nail polish sold is acrylic enamel. On acrylic eyes which I seldome ever use I have taken a little bit of sand paper and sanded the spot smooth. Then take some clear gloss and coat the eye and you will never know anything happenned.


Yep

Acetone

If you use alot of acetone it will eat anything. A q-tip with a small amount of nail polish remover will work as long as you blow onit while you remove it. sanding it smooth will leave a blemish that will show up in sunlight and some artificial lights. i am not going to tell you what eyes to use but that is a problem with the eyes you chose. Also nail polish remover will leave a blemish in light if you are not careful. If you take a small amount of fish gloss on a thin brush you can avoid the blemish. Good Luck and keep up all the ideas..I learn something new from every post..
