    Hi

    I was hoping to get some pointers on how to remove glued on crystal left overs from the case without scratching everything?
    Any chemicals?

    Thanks

    I soak my stainless cases in Acetone. Works well on plastic, glues and gaskets.

    Save yourself some grief. Use pure acetone from the hardware store, it doesn't contain the addatives that nail polish removers have.

    On your side :thumbsup:.

    After many years of cohabiting with the fairer sex, I've found that certain things keep peace and harmony ;).

    Other things cause friction, e.g. borrowing her good tweezers to bend spring bars, washing motorbike tools in the dishwasher.

    There's a list of about a million things and I guess that using all of her nail polish remover just before she decides to change colour is in the top 100.

    Just below buying an appliance (iron, vac cleaner etc) for her birthday.

    :D
