hey guys

i've just bought some replacement skates for my abyssus because the stock ones keep peeling off, what would people recommend as the best way to remove mouse feet without rubbing alcohol? most of my googling points to this as the best solution but I don't have access to it... is just scraping them off with something like a knife or scissors a good or terrible idea?

thanks

Use a blunt edge like a mid-small sized and worn-out flathead screwdriver.

How do you not have access to isopropynol? Are disinfectants banned down there or something?

acetate works
ethanol works
water with some oil soap works too
water with regular soap works too

pretty much anything you'd use to clean with (use your common sense)

Well, the glue would still be there since you don't want to use rubbing alcohol, but I don't think that little bit of glue will change much.

Since when do you have your abyss? I have one and wonder when the feet will start dying.
