Model Airplane Wood Glue
how to dissolve a solidified adhesive?
i am trying to assemble a model airplane using balsa wood. i accidentally glued parts of at wrong places.
i would like to know a way to dissolve the glue i used so that i can disassemble the model without it being broken.
P.S:
The glue i used is the quick drying modeling glue.
Thanks in advance! 
Unfortunately, “quick drying modeling glue” doesn’t really identify the type of glue you were using so won’t help in determining the type of solvent that will work on it.
E.g., if you were using cyanoacrylate glue or “instant/super glue,” sometimes sawing with a butter knife and acetone can separate them, or if you were using a “wood glue” or just a “white glue” then water will usually work though the longer it’s been dry the more soaking that will take. Those things may affect the balsa wood though if they have more than a little contact.
Your best bet might just be using a blade (or other saw or cutter) of some kind to mechanically separate the two pieces in the joined area. Some things to try would be the straight-sided blades for Xacto type knives or single-edge razor blades or scalpels, or one Xacto blade is a tiny little saw.
