Super Glue - Removal!
Hello!
My wonderful fiancee in her infinate wisdom decided to fix a decorative wall sign of my sons for his bedroom wall - with superglue. It worked great!... however she left it on our kitchen worktop to dry, and you guessed it, the superglue dripped and went on the surface! I have have a long ridge of superglue along the worksurface which is one of those face marble effect ones. I'd like to know if superglue really is super or whether there is a way to dissolve/remove it once it has set? We are replacing the worktops in the future, but not for quite a while and it is rather unsightly! I'm guessing that there must be some substance that reacts with superglue and dissolves it, as other people must of have worse superglue horror stories where body parts become attached etc! Anyway, any advice would be greatfully recieved! Merry xmas Tom |

As someone else said, acetone, you can get it from a chemists. Nail polish remover might do the job. Rick |

New razor blade or similarly supersharp tool held at a low acute angle, slight sawing action as you slice through it. May need a few passes gradually going down to worktop level. I use this technique on any flat surface including my el cheapo laminate worktop. -- Mike W |

If you need to use this technique often, you should be more careful with the superglue! ;-) Cheers John |

But it did get someone, who was too lazy to do it himself, the answer Acetone does work. Its slow though. Commercial debonders also exist with other witches brew components, but acetone is cheaper.

It MUST be acetone, Other cellulose solvents wont touch it. Get from fiberglass sully places like http://www.fibretechgb.co.uk/DefaultHome.htm Nitromethane also works..but its pretty hard to come by. You can buy debomnder at model shops..and its allegedly very good, but I got a pint of acetone for the same price, and it definitely works..unglued my favorite jumper anyway. Watch out for fumes..very dizzymaking and mega headaches if too much inhaled. No permanent after effects tho. |
