How to Get Super Glue Off Hands

When using super glue, do you get little dried patches of it in random spots on your hands? Find out how to get a good amount of it off in this article.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• nail polish remover
• water, soap, and towel
• cotton ball

1. Once super glue has been found on the flesh, get nail polish remover and a cotton ball. Just like removing nail polish from nails, wet the cotton ball with the nail polish remover.

2. Use cotton ball wet with nail polish remover directly on super glue stuck to flesh. Rub hard with the cotton ball until a satisfactory amount of glue has been removed.

3. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water to get the polish remover off. Dry well with towel.

Tips & Warnings

• This should be good for super glue gotten most anywhere on skin unless it is a particularly sensitive area.
• The nail polish remover burns in cuts and on sensitive areas. Washing the part that burns with soap and water should take care of it, if not flush with water. If all else fails, see a doctor.
• Do not ingest, sniff, or get nail polish remover in eyes.
