Clean up your act

Clean tools perform better, that's a fact. So use two items and a few minutes to improve the performance of some of yours, in this case those that may be fouled by epoxy putty (green stuff) or cyanoacetate (super glue).

Been a little too zealous with the green stuff and have a sculpting tool that looks like this?

Or a tip of a super glue bottle like this?

Get some acetone and a paper towel, and get to work.

Soak the paper towel with acetone and rub that green stuff from your tool. Keep at it until the green stuff is gone, it takes only a few minutes.

Working on a bottle tip or some other item is a little bit trickier, as the acetone will soften the super glue and make it gummy. So when one paper towel is gummed up, get another and keep at it. This may take a little longer, but being able to accurately place glue and not having it dry in the bottle because you can't get the top on and sealed is worth it.
