Hi Folks,

Eldest daughter has managed to get superglue all over one lense of
her glasses. (Whilst wearing them, tidying up , at least it's not
in her eye)

Some came off fairly easily with IPA, but still plenty on there,
and tips for cleaning it off. At the moment they are soaking in
some warm soapy water to hopefully soften the glue.

Not the end of the world if we can't get it off, she is due an
Opticians appt, and would probably get new ones then anyway, she
has her old ones as spares.


I'm pretty sure that in casualty they just use warm water and soap (or
detergent) to remove it from skin.

Doesn't work. I've had more superglue on my skin and clohese than most
people have had hot dinners.

Nothing touches it except an angle grinder or acetone

The usual lens material is a
thermosetting resin known as CR-39 and with any luck won't be
"dissolved" by liquid cyanoacrylate, but I would be inclined to give it
plenty of time and not too much mechanical force.
