How to Remove Super Glue From Cultured Marble

Super Glue is one of the most effective adhesives for projects that require especially strong holds. Because of the nature of this compound, Super Glue hardens onto surfaces and creates an incredibly solid bond, unlike most other household glues that retain a stickiness. This makes the adhesive especially challenging to remove from smooth objects such as cultured marble, which is used most commonly for bathroom sinks, showers, and countertops.

Things You'll Need

• Acetone
• Latex gloves
• Rag or cotton pad
• Plastic scraper
• Paper towel

Instructions

1. Protect your hands with latex gloves. Pour a small amount of acetone onto a rag or a cotton pad. Wipe the affected area with the acetone until the glue begins to soften, but be careful not to spill any onto the rest of the marble as excessive acetone may tarnish it.

2. Gently lift the Super Glue with a plastic scraper using a moderate amount of pressure. Wrap the loose pieces of dried glue in a paper towel and dispose of them.

3. Wash the surface of the cultured marble with an appropriate household cleaning product to remove any remnants of the glue.

Tips & Warnings

• Nail-polish removers are commonly composed purely of acetone.

• Work in a well-ventilated area to prevent inhaling hazardous amounts of acetone. Keep a window open if the marble surface is indoors.
