In the 14 years since Bill got Araldite on his hands I think the skin cells on his hands would have changed enough times for the problem to go away. The active ingredient in nail polish remover is Acetone.


These days not every nail polish remover contains acetone! Bottles of
acetone are available from Ebay at £7/8 litre (more expensive per litre
in smaller quantities)
I also use it for removing superglue and dissolving some plastics in
order to repair some types of plastic. Dissolve some scrap plastic and
use as a glue and/or solvent weld a piece of scrap plastic to what is
being repaired. Recently used to strengthen/repair a crack in a very
cheap plastic bath panel.
