working on the 1/72 B-36 - intended to glue just one side of the wing
spar and tape the fuselage together. got distracted and ended up
gluing both sides of the spar to the fuselage with CA applied through
the bomb bay. guess I could not tell what side I was working on.  left
it alone till this morning and found that I cannot separate the
fuselage sides from the spar.
I tried slicing along the seam with a knife, but CA flows along every
surface so  doubt that will work. I think I can stretch it open enough
to get the cockpit stuff inside. Not building the bomb bay so that
will not be a problem.

Why after so many bazillion years of modeling do we still make stupid
mistakes....

Go back to the hobby shop and get the cyano/superglue debonder.  Fixes
problems such as yours as well as gluing one's fingers together.... ;<)

First, get a bottle of debonder.

If not available, brush some acetone LIGHTLY over the seams, wait half a
minute, and try to pry apart.

I don't know if freezing would work?!?

Good luck!
