Instructions

    • 1

      Dip a cotton swab into a bottle of acetone nail polish remover.

    • 2

      Dab the acetone nail polish remover around the super glued skin, soaking as much of it as you can into the glue to dissolve the bond.

    • 3

      Peel the skin apart gently to avoid tearing the skin.

    • 4

      Soak a cotton ball in acetone nail polish remover and swab the skin to help break up any remaining glue left on the skin.

    • 5

      Wash your hands in warm, soapy water to help break up glue particles still stuck to the skin.

Tips & Warnings

  • It may take up to two days for all of the glue to be cleaned from skin.

  • Substances containing acetone may damage clothing and wooden surfaces.

  • Fumes from nail polish removers may be toxic if continually inhaled. Work in a well-ventilated area to avoid accidental inhalation.
