Tech i accidentally poured super glue over my N3DS

[TNDKEVINLOGAN.COM]

i was working on my spare N3DS and the little plastic on the joystick wouldnt stick so i get super glue and it wont come out so i press harder and it just busts all over the joystick

the console works and i moved the joystick until it set so the console works fine and so does the joystick but it looks so ugly with the super glue layer on top

i tried acetone on a spare part and it melted the whole thing so im NOT putting acetone on the main body of the console

anyone know other alternatives to acetone to remove loctite super glue?

Dental floss sawing under the glue edge and plastic razor blades.

Dental floss sawing under the glue edge and plastic razor blades.

for me theres only the ugly finish of the super glue so would i just use the razor blade

also whats the difference between a normal razor and a plastic razor

A plastic razor is less likely to leave marks on the surface of your system.

ah i see

i stripped a screw and i dont have a dremel and it happens to be one of the main screws so i cant even expose the motherboard to take out the joystick

ive stuck everything into a ziplock bag for another day, it was an unexpected thing i cant be assed to fix right now

it looks so ugly though kinda spikes my cortisol looking at it since it was kinda expensive, its the spare i use to play mario kart with people so its not that important but it does piss me off badly

You can probably cut it off as Weebhunter3000 suggested, but otherwise I'm unsure. Since it still works, it's probably fine but I'd be careful just in case.

You need to blowtorch the superglue to soften it, then quickly grab a hammer and chisel to start chiseling it away. Wear a gas mask or something.

No need for him to doxx himself. My solution will work for any video game.

I mean, it's not like his home address is written in neat cursive within a splatter of glue. I feel like, if he's that paranoid, he can up the picture's contrast until it looks like it was taken on another planet, squeeze and stretch its resolution like he's kneading dough, screenshot the image a gazillion different times, and with all of those precautions, we'd probably still be able to see the logistics of this glue spill from beyond his description, which could help us all out in finding a solution to the issue.
Nonetheless, with how cosmetic the problem is, I think the easiest fix would be for him to come to terms with his glue-covered joystick and judge it not for the texture of its surface but by the content of its character.

Or we can ignore his problems because they are retarded.

No, your fish would probably die from tap water poisoning.

the chemicals would eventually evaporate off, i use tap water for my kombucha and i either leave the tap water out for a day or boil it they both work

distilled water which is obtained from steam is arguably worse for you, youre not meant to drink much water either way as a human

most of your daily hydration should come from fruits

Proof?

Proof?

the fact its sterile enough to grow bacteria in it, if it had too many jew chems it would kill the kombucha
