Summary: Superglue (cyanoacrylate) has many uses. Besides the typical household function of sticking things together, it's used in surgical procedures and even in crime labs to develop unseen fingerprints. Originally marketed as Eastman #910 in 1958, this stuff is sneaky and it goes everywhere if you don't keep an eye on it.

on 8/6/2007 It works!! Super Glue gone from fingers after applying cold cream, Vaseline, soap, warm water and scrubbing with a plastic scrubber. Thanks.

on 1/18/2007 Use pure acetone, no nail polish. I was fixing my glasses and got it all over the lens. Nail polish remover had no real effect, but I found a can of acetone and it took care if it in less than 30 seconds. Took another 2 minutes to get everything completely off.

on 8/11/2006 I used Superglue to fix a gift for my mother. I opened the glue and it went everywhere. I used nail polish remover - didn't work. I used the Vaseline and water trick - it worked, kinda. I was chopping potatoes, and when I washed my hands, the glue was gone.
So, apply lots of potato juice, found when chopping, and wash after 10 minutes (approx). It really works.
