Easy-Off will also weaken som eolightly glues parts, but if the joint
was stron before the application of the Easy-Off, then that alone won't
break the joint. The "problem" with cemented joints is that the solvent
in the glue has actually cased material from both sides of the joint to
mix and fuse together. Once that happens, there's no way to get them
apart. They have actually become one part.Anything that can dissolve
that sort of joint also leaves the model in a puddle of solvent.
