Gluesticks

How do I remove super glue from an ornament that has been repaired incorrectly?

I have found some great bits and bobs but they are broken and someone has brokenthem and then glued the bits back on in the wrong position, I was wondering if I could remove and redo myself but dont know how to remove the pieces now they have been superglued. Any ideas.

1. why dont u soak it in the water for couple of hours that should help
2. Hot water and a knife. Edit - Thumbs down person. This is the method recommended by the manufacturers and has worked for me in the past.
3. steam it, till the glue comes off.
4. I'm not sure what would disolve the glue, but I'm sure there's something. When you find it, go easy with a cotton bud or something, as it might be strong enough to disolve any paint too! Good luck.
5. Try acetone - nail polish remover - to dissolve the super glue. The acetone breaks down the glue.
6. go to a chemical shop. they sell so much chemicals there bound to have somthing to remove super glue! i always use nail polish remover (acetone) to get it of my hands and that works fine!
7. dip it in Hot Water
8. Acetone, which is sometimes found in nail polish remover, is a commonly available solvent capable of softening cured cyanoacrylate. Nitromethane is also an excellent solvent. Methylene chloride is the most effective but is toxic. Gamma-butyrolactone is also effective at removing superglue, and has low toxicity. Low temperatures cause superglue to become brittle. the bonds can be weakened (allowing disassembly) by placing a glued object in a household freezer for several hours
9. there is a glue remover that would remove the superglue as i use industrial glue at home it is stronger than superglue,and the glue remover removes that.
