nail polish remove might work
I have also heard that frezzing models in the frezzer renders the bond brittle enough to break with force
just checking though, but the above will only work for Super glue, not plastic glues (that is almost impossible to unbond without clippers)

Paint and/or primer can provide a slight barrier between the plastic and the acetone, but it's definitely not something to be relied on. I've used acetone (nail polish remover) to remove some limbs, but I made it quick and washed the location immediately afterward.

If you used plastic cement then you may as well give up now. If you used super glue than yoy can buy a solvent, but I've never got them to work well.

You're going to want some thing like Un-Cure:

The thing to remember is that it only stoftens super glue, is does not truely dissolve it. If you don't remove the glue while it is soft it will just harden again, putting you back to square one.
