Resolve a sticky situation

Ever have super glue caps stick and need to use your pliers or Gerber tool to loosen them? Sometimes you just can’t take them apart.

Acetone is the answer. Fill a little cup with acetone just above the cap and soak it for about 30 minutes.

Bam! You’ve got a cap with no glue on it. Just wipe it clean and stick it back on the glue container. Use a spare glue cap temporarily while soaking the other cap.

Problem solved!
