How to dissolve the glue

Can you tell me how to dissolve the glue used to glue insects to the dies? In general, is it possible not to damage the material itself?

Depending on the adhesive , use water, alcohol, or acetone.

The detective story is that I do not know what kind of glue was used))) It looks like just transparent glue (not white).
PS Does acetone not spoil the animal?

Should not. After all, a mixture of alcohol and acetone is used for degreasing (one of the options). In addition, acetone is used as a liquid for soaking insects, in the absence of better options, of course. wink.gif

Everything that dissolves acetone-with great success will dissolve ordinary ethyl acetate, which almost everyone soaks beetles with. Use it (if acetone is confusing) to dissolve such glue and do not worry.
