Yes, sometimes the thinner will loosen the glue on small parts. Just glue them back on.

And now Mathias, you know that you can use your thinner to detach some parts assembled in a wrong way

Hi mathias, the trick is to spray the kit in gloss varnish for your washesand filters I then spray with flatvarnish then put the pigments on.Its the thinners loosening the glue,if you varnish you protect the glued areas. hope this helps.
