Effective Super Glue Removal: Home Remedies for Sticky Fingers

In summary, the best way to remove super glue from your fingers is to soak them in warm soapy water and then gently peel or roll off the glue. You can also use nail polish remover, household items like rubbing alcohol or white vinegar, or create a paste with toothpaste or baking soda to remove the glue. The time it takes for the glue to come off will vary, and to prevent it from sticking to your fingers, you can wear gloves or apply petroleum jelly or lotion to your fingers.

I tried supergluing a Christmas decoration that broke. But the super glue container had a leak and so I got it all over my fingers.:eek: Does anyone have a home remedy to get this off?

Tried that. I think I have so much on that it doesn't really touch it. Guess I'll just have to wait and let it fall off. Thanks!
 
Maybe google it and see if internet can help. Hope you find a fix.
 
What about Goo Gone? Do you have any of that at home? I honestly don't know if it will work or not but it may be worth a try. :)
 
DH swears by WD40 for a lot of things!
 
I think it's the acetone in the nail polish remover, so if you have acetone free nail polish remover, it may not work.
 
Yes, acetone should remove it. But there's also a tube of super glue remover sold in the same area as the super glue tubes. ;)

When I googled it- one site mentions soaking it in the nail polish remover, or warm soapy water for awhile- then gently rub the skin (your fingers?) to gradually remove it from your skin. I think it was on ehow.com.

The amount of time it takes for super glue to come off your skin will vary depending on the type of glue and the amount that was applied.
