Or, on two-part cavalry figures finding that the rider has a thirty degree list to port or starboard and the Araldite is solid.  ~X( ~X( ~X(

Pretty certain you can soften Araldite if you heat it.....
As long as the figure's not painted; putting it in boiling water in an old saucepan should work.
Think Araldite goes soft around 60-70 degrees C.

Don't know what happens to the Araldite when it cools down again though.....i.e....Does it set hard for a second time ?.....dunno !
Anyone tried that ?

Yep, Araldite does soften in very hot water. It may take a few goes but it does work. When cool it does go hard again relatively speaking. BTW Araldite becomes brittle with age.
