REMOVING BLOCK LOCK® GLUE WITHOUT A S-WASH Bag
If your item is heavily glued, or you do not have a S-WASH bag, you can soak your toy to remove the glue (SUBJECT TO SUITABILITY as indicated above).
BY SUBMERGING your glued toy/accessory in warm water and gently agitating regularly and changing the water the glue will dissolve and be removed, providing it is suitable.
We recommend using a S-WASH bag for glue removal to minimise loss of components and the bricks/toy inside the bag can be agitated more effectively resulting in a quick removal result. The S-WASH bag is also designed to store your set in one place after glue removal so it can be re-built again and again with the same enjoyment.
It is up to the end user to determine if the toy/accessory should be hand soaked or machine soaked.
BLOCK LOCK Toy Glue are not able to specify removal methods for specific toys, and it is up to the end user to use their own judgement to ascertain if BLOCK LOCK Toy Glue is suitable for their toy and also if the removal method using water is suitable for their toy PRIOR to application of the glue.
