Sometimes when u buy super glue you can get a anti-sticking agent with it in a seperate tube that brakes it up, never used the stuff but i have seen it, maybe that will brake it up enough to t-cut it or something.
Maybe look on the RS supllies website at there chemicals.
OOOOOOOr poundland sells like 12 packs of super glue and one of them is a anti bonding agent. IF ur in Glasgow its the poundland besdie Mcdonalds round the corner from Argos.

Go to Halfords and get some superglue remover. Its with all the superglues, spray glue, roof glue etc...

It really does work. I had a similar problem and it literally wiped off with a few applications.

If the clip is made of ABS, the correct stuff to glue it with is called Butanone, (MEK, or Methyl Ethyl Ketone), and can be bought from good modelshops. It has trade names of Mekpak and Plastic Weld.

DO NOT confuse these with common styrene cement.
