Is it possible to separate 2 things that have been stuck together with this stuff, without ruining either surface? ie. does it melt / alter materials?

I've never seen it damage a surface, although I suppose it could, since it contains distillates (like toluene?) that might dissolve some materials. More importantly, this stuff is VERY sticky, so on a rough surface you would never be able to completely remove it. For that matter once it gets a good grip, it's about impossible to pull apart anyway. For example, I glued just the red plastic cover from a small reflector (with no backing) to the rear of the seat post on my bike -- just for fun, and extra safety. I put one blob on each side where the reflector touched the post, and masking taped the reflector in place till the glue dried. Years later when I replaced the seat and had to pull off the reflector, first it hadn't fallen off in the meantime, and second it was nearly impossible to get loose, then I had to work at remaining blobs of glue, stuck to chromed steel, with needle nose pliers, to yank them off the metal.

I've only used it to seal cracks on my car windshield. I've not yet attempted to get rid of the excess, though I believe that vinegar will work. Sorry.

I don't know for certain, so whatever you do, proceed with some caution. I would think that you could separate 2 items that have been stuck together with GOOP because it is not a permanent type of adhesive (like an epoxy, or heavy body glue). GOOP is a lot like rubber cement, but a little stronger. Try separating the 2 items by gently working them back and forth to try and see if the bond breaks or gets looser. If you can get a knife or blade to slice thru the GOOP bond, that would also probably work. Good luck!

Be careful this stuff can react with some wood finishes. Just pulled some off an armoire shelf and most of it came off but the rest is proving hard to get off. Trying to google a fix now.

I've only ever mixed it with resin which turn out quite well, i do have a paint product as well which i discovered is simply the powder in a translucent once dry paint but the powder was gritty not dissolved in the paint which is how I found out, so I'm not sure if it would actually disolve, though you have my interest, I make fairies that glow and a snow globe type of trinket would be very interesting, I believe I will do some mixing this afternoon and relate my findings

If you can find a way to hold the two things steady until this stuff dries, it should work. You do have to mix it well. I had good luck applying it with a toothpick. You don't need much if the parts are not under stress tending to pull them apart. It works just like solder but you apply it like glue. Best for tight/small situations. I would not use it for medium/large wires or components.

Experiment with just the plastic, try different tape at only one side, both sides, none at corners. Plastic and metal may not mix well, but seems like a very good idea.

You can do it without it, glue is optional. But some parts stay a bit better if you use some.

I would use windex or glass cleaner or a liquid cleaner that won't melt plastic! Obviously, a scrubbing pad and powders like Comet or Ajax, etc. won't work.

I've never tried that but you would need to iron it to the pattern and then you could use something like thin fabric or interfacing to fuse the other side. This is like double stick tape. It allows you to fuse two surfaces together. Does that help?

I don't see why it wouldn't work to separate in anything, as long as the sides of the container are sturdy, straight up and down and parallel to one another.

This would most likely do the job for you. I believe that silver solders are the go-to variety for jewelry. I used it for stainless steel which is typically difficult to solder and it did an outstanding job. With a clean surface and using the supplied flux, the adhesion is excellent. I soldered a hole in the pan of an ultrasonic cleaner, so it is subjected to high-intensity vibration. There has been no problem at all with separation. At the price of this item, it is certainly worth trying.

I think it could be is possible. The little heated knife that you use to melt the color block and apply to the tile will re-melt the mixed colors. It will be slow going though as you can only get so much of the stuff on the knife. I mixed the colors on the damaged area. So, I haven't tried it but, will next time. Good idea!

Its a good idea to separate some of them obsidian was in mine and they just disappear if tumbled with quartz. They give you enough rocks for around 1 batch but some of them will come out poorly if all tumbled together.

Sure - but you have to know where the weak link is. In some cases the magnet to metal connection may be stronger than the glued connection so when you try to pull things apart the glue connection will "fail", i.e. separate, instead of the magnet separating from the metal.

No, I don't think so. It looks like the divider and the bottom are molded together from one piece of plastic. The base is a separate piece, but I don't see any way to take it off.

if super glue is safe this will be too. They are both CA glues. Sorry best answer I can give.

I am not sure about it separating but I would not recommend it due the finish would not fair well in high temp. applications. If using polymer clay I would suggest using parchment paper and transferring it straight to the oven.

I do not believe this is possible - -looking at the bottle right now...to do this you'd actually have to BREAK the two walls apart, and it does not look like they would ever go back together properly.
