Been a while, but I recently bought another nitefinder expecting it to be no problem, but I pull out the plunger tube and the whole thing is glued together! It looks like there's just white glue but it's still held together good, how would I go about removing the air restrictor now? Would soaking in acetone destroy the plastic?

I don't know about the acetone but have you tried boiling it or a heat gun.

Acetone just melts the whole thing, I had this problem too...but then again it also may have been th Goof Off I mixed in.

Most people don't use anything near that thick, so I am curious as to what you are up to? I'd offer to sell you some, but alas... I used all that I had when I upgraded the bullet proof glass on my pope-mobile.

Try xylene. Its as strong as acetone if not stronger but is safe on plastics... most plastics. You can get it at hardware stores.

Your talking about the barrel setup, correct? Ya, pipe cutters are great for that.
