Darren is right - we need to know the substrates and the glue type.

If it is epoxy glue, good luck (some are completely undissolvable once cured). If it's superglue, acetone will do it (or stupidly expensive superglue solvent). If it is PVA, metho or even water can do it. Heat can also seperate, as can cold (some epoxies can be brittlised by freezing to snap the bond). If it is aldehyde glues, that's gonna be fun.

Now, the issue is the substrate. IF metal, usually you can try anything. If wood, fast evaporating solvents are usually OK, but it will remove any stain in the wood and the finish. If plastic, throw it away lol (nearly all solvents will destroy it, metho won't, and there are some specialised debonders for plastic).

Might be cheaper to replace the item.
