Test the acetone on the plastic first.   It attacks some plastics

It's plastic and solid metal wire bonded to wood.

Pure Acetone will do it. Hopefully it will not destroy whatever it is glued to. Hopefully you can move it outside.

That is tough stuff.

De-Bonding Gorilla Glue
Posted by HOmainline on Saturday, October 6, 2018 6:51 PM

What solvent - if any - can un-do Gorilla Glue once it's been set for a couple of years?  Acetone, isopropyl alcohol, lacquer thinner, something else? 

Thanks!
