How To Remove Super Glue Residue

Fill a small bowl with warm, soapy water. Soak the affected fingers {or other skin area} in the soapy water for a few minutes. Then while your fingers are still soaking, use a blunt object, like a kitchen spoon, to help pry apart your fingers.

If you need to remove super glue residue from a surface, such as your kitchen counter, you can use a small amount of nail polish remover {acetone} to dissolve it. Moisten a cotton ball and use that to soak the area and soften and dissolve the super glue residue.

To remove super glue from fabrics, it depends on what type of fabric it is. Acetone will dissolve it, but it may discolor many fabrics, so it is suggested that you test an inconspicuous area of the fabric first. The best thing to do is to soak the fabric in warm, soapy water, and then launder it. Don’t run it through the dryer until you are sure the super glue residue is gone.
