How to Remove Super Glue From Finger

Super Glue bonds quickly and holds tight, which is why it is often used to make repairs and hold craft projects together. Accidentally gluing your fingers together isn't uncommon. As you struggle to pull your fingers apart, don't panic. Getting your fingers unstuck is easy with a little nail polish remover and a cotton swab.

Things You'll Need

• Acetone nail polish remover
• Cotton swab
• Cotton ball

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.
