Acetone. Of course, you have to be careful. Aside from the danger of it being flamable, it might also eat whatever the CA is on.

Acetone will not hurt covering if that's what the CA is on.

I am not privy to the ingredients in CA Debonder. However, acetone works just as well and can be purchased around here for about $15.00 a gallon. Or for about 1/3 less if you buy a 55 gallon drum at a time. How much CA could you remove with a 55 gallon drum ??? Fiberglass supply places, paint stores, Home Depot and Lowes all sell acetone.

How much is a one or two ounce bottle of Debonder at the LHS ? $4.00 ?

Here is a [link=http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=534870]link[/link] to a thread on another list that has a good bit of banter about Debonder.

Nail polish remover is the samething as the debonder. Just steal the wifes and give it a try.

Nitro and Acetone are great "de-bonders" if you do not want to use the commercial de-bonder. '

What are you trying to de-bond?

Hi!
I have said it many times before. Nitro is much better than Acetone to remove Ca glue. Debonder isn't that good only very expensive.
