74395 2002-08-28 04:44:00 How do you remove superglue from skin (hands)?
Isopropyl alcohol is not working..

Stupid Selly's "bonds instantly" grumble mutter.

Sorry that this is so off topic, but I'm in agony here!

74396 2002-08-28 04:54:00 Hehehe... how are you even TYPING?? One finger typing? :D

Ummm... don't they have an 0800 number or something...? How about calling someone up like Placemakers or Mitre 10... some building place should be able to help... hehehe ;)

Lo.

74397 2002-08-28 04:56:00 IPA won't work. Acetone (fingernail varnish remover) might.

A quick look at google says superglue is good instead of surgical stitches, with the comment that it peels off on its own in 5-8 days. If you don't mind carrying around appendages for a week, that could be the painless way. ;-)

One of the other matches included the hint "Don't apply superglue with your fingers".

74398 2002-08-28 05:10:00 If ya can get someone to stop laffing long enough they might be able to go to the shops and buy some superglue remover. They made that after many people ended up in the same predicament as you

Remember amateurs built the ark and professionals built the Titanic :)

74399 2002-08-28 05:34:00 This from a friend who knows:

Supa Glue is designed to STICK and is very difficult to remove
from most surfaces.

Supa Glue remover is available from most leading Hardware stores,
however on human skin it is often possible to remove it by working
at it continuosly with moisturising cream.

74401 2002-08-28 06:35:00 I didn't stick my fingers together, luckily.. but I spilled some on them.
Since its dried I've managed to peel some of it (or my skin, I'm not sure) off.. might go try that nailpolish remover ;)

74403 2002-08-28 08:30:00 One of the original uses for "super glue" years before it became available in retail shops was for making O rings from rubber O ring cord. You just put a drop on one end of the cord, pressed the ends together for a few seconds, and bingo, a custom built O ring. OR, you ended up with an O ring joining your fingers together.
The only way to get that combination apart was someone adept with a razor blade. :) :)

74404 2002-08-28 08:54:00 i always thought super glue on skin felt kinda cool... ;)
not that that's exactly what i do for kicks. no really. I don't.
you can sand it off with a bit of sandpaper.... not too coarse though! something like 180 grade shoud be good.
