How to get rid of super glue?

[RolliePollie]

My brother just super glued his fingers together. Any way to wash it off or get rid of it?

Amputate the limb. That'll teach him.

He needs his arms both intact.

Thanks, I'll try and get a bunsen burner and heat his hands and see if it does anything.

find something with acetone in it - like nail polish remover

[Azza ☠]

A safe for skin, acetone-based liquid, such as nail polish remover will dissolve super glue, after a few minutes just letting you peel off easily.

WD-40, some hand lotions, or petroleum jelly might also work via massaging the skin.

Worst case: Just wait 1-3 days and it should unstick by itself due to the natural skin oils underneath.

True story and warning:



NEVER TRY OPENING SUPERGLUE BY GRIPPING IT WITH YOUR TEETH.



Seriously I did that when I was a stupid teenager - this was 35 years ago - it shot up behind my front teeth and I had to stand there with my mouth hanging open while it dried. I will never forget the smell / taste of it, and how freaking stupid I felt having done that. Squirted just... straight... up. Nasty.

For water, it's more just the lotions or soap and changing temperature from cold to warm/hot.

So yeah, warm soapy water could help.
