Surprising I've never done it before . Thumb and second finger firmly
glued to either side of a connecctor. I tried methylated spirits first
but no effect seemingly. Then dilute acetone as nail varnish remover. I
was concerned about being too long on the skin so some cotton wool
balls of acetone around both areas and a Q-tip soaked in acetone, with
a rotating wedge-like motion, cautiously wedging skin from connector
worked, but anyone elses experiences/advice for the next time?


Keeping a bottle of superglue debonder around is a cheap investment. If
you go to a hobby store which carries a selection of cyanoacrylate glues
(usually of different viscosities and bonding speeds) you ought to find
a supply of debonder in the same rack.



Has anybody ever found an application where superglue works well except
on human skin? I find the crap brittle as hell and have yet to see
anything glued with it last more than a few weeks before breaking.


Any application that does not apply a sheer force. I use it to glue new
guitar frets into a slotted fretboard. It's a CA designed for that
application though. Also good for guitar nuts. Can't imagine something so
popular that didn't work.
