Just did some repair work around the house and have some dried superglue
on one of my fingers. What is good to use to remove it? (I just tried
nail polish remover and it did not work)
Hi Les,


About the only effective thing that will remove super glue is time.
However, after saying that and have had the same experience (I build and fly
large radio Controlled aircraft) try sandpaper. If I have a lump of
superglue on my finger I fire up my palm sande with #100 grit paper and sand
the lump down. Be carefull though as you could go too deep...just go a bit
at a time and it'll dissapear. Jim


Lump? I've had it on my hands, but in a thin layer. Lumps get wiped
to a rag, right away. Pumice stones are great. I use one when I have
paint, caulk or other things on my hands, etc.
