Hi, anyone have any bright ideas.... My CND gel bond lid is stuck! If I cut open the bottom, any thing I can store it in that it won't harden and that I can open and use??? It's a real long shot I know!
Resin/glue?

It's unlikely to work, as soon as the adhesive is exposed to the air it will start to harden.
I've had trouble with my Gel bond in the past too, I got mine open eventually by dropping drips of acetone round the lid where it meets the metal of the tube. It took a while and a pair of pliers (be careful not to twist the tube too much that it splits). The acetone started to breakdown the adhesive and I was able to get it open.
It does take time and patience though, but I was determined :lol:
A little trick to stop it happening again is to smear a little solar oil over the nozzle before recapping each time.

Defo was a long shot! Thanks for the tip that sounds like a great idea. I'm gutted as I didn't want to waste it, it's almost full! I haven't used it in forever as I don't tip any more I sculpt. But I was going to try out my crystals using it as suggested by another geek instead of the usual top coat. I will try the acetone though. I know what you mean about twisting the tube and it splitting!! 🙈 lol thanks
