Pictured below is part of a gun that has been damaged by Elmer’s Ultimate poly glue.
I installed the thumb plate about two years ago. The poly was used to secure it. I know there was no spilling or leakage for several months afterwards.
The gun has been leaning in a corner unused for about two years. Yesterday I picked it up and noticed the damage shown. Apparently the expanding glue just kept expanding sometime after the first two months.
I’m not happy about this. Not sure what solvents might remove that mess but will start with acetone and experiment from there.
This is another reason why I now stay away from the expanding poly glues.
