so i have 2 questions for you, any one who dose modifications or vinal/ pvc kits mat be able to help me out.
first question, how to remove the white mark left by excess dried supa glue. the surface is a latex/ soft rubber.
a while ago i got a JP jr. T-rex who was nearly in too!, it was a fight to get the glue to set as the two halves wanted to pretend that there were bothe the smale end of a magnent (repell each other) many tears later i got it to stick and set but now am left with this unsightly mark.
so i want to remove the mark with out removing all the glue or the paint. hear is a pic so you can see what i mean.

next is not a question more so taking sugestions, the JP dilo that is in bad shap, i notices she is missing her tounge too!
i tihnk for the claw i will use scuply to make a new one and fix on it, im not sure if it will work soo well for the tounge thou, the "spit" function no longer works as the bladder has preashed, i think at one point she would have lived in some childs sand pit, or out side in the dirt. she is missing allmost all the paint from her face.
but im after ideas on how to paint her, and how to fix her tounge. hear is a pic to show the extent of the damage.

I´m not that good at customizing and stuff. But if I was a dinosaur toy I would love being in your collection. I could be sure to be treated quite lovely.
I collect dinosaurs in any state, too, but leave them in this state. Just as with books, those marks, scratches and losses are part of their history.

thank you for the compliment. i think i hnow what you mean, a good portion of my dinos have there "battle scars" most are minor chips or paint scuffs thous ones i leave. but for some they get makeovers. and would enjoy new lives so to speak. take the TLW/JP hybrid stego she had some deal of work done as she was missing parts. the dilo will be my second custom to recive "new parts" and my fith one in total (the other 3 only recived new paint)

it was cheep nasty "supaglue", not premium stuff. ya know the 5 pack for $2 kind of stuff.
so you recon a craft razor or scaple and chip away at it is the best method?

patched the dilo up today, for the claw, i made a mold of the "good" one and from that was able to clone a claw using scuply, the tounge also from scuply and supaglued them into place. now she needs a new coat of paint, still looking for ideas, so any sugestions welcome, no matter how silly they sound!
[edit]
im thinking of panther chameleon schem, or prehaps some sort of bird, i dont know, or prehaps try to develop what the adult colors forthe series 2 hatchling would be like (its was orange and black)
[end of edit]
