Hope this is the right place to post this.
I just spilled a mess o super glue on my skin, and I'm not sure how to remove it. I have a gig tonight and I'd rather not have the residue all over my left hand.
I figure there are a t least a few TB'rs who have done the Flea-style superglue my thumb thing, and may know some clever ways to remove it.
Will nail polish remover do the trick?

Yeah... just some plain old acetone will do the trick (think nail polish remover)

A pumice stone works fairly well.

No need for smelly chemical solvents, just use a fine-grained sanding sponge. Took me about 30 seconds to remove dried superglue from my fingertips with no hassle...

I used turpentine to get it off. Unfortunatly, when u peel off superglue from skin it leaves little, un-noticeable cuts.
So when you add turpentine....it equals massive ouch, and smells really bad lol.
Pick it off if you can, if not try a thin grain sand paper or pummice thingy. If that don't work then try the nail polish remover.
Good luck man!

The trick is to never let it dry.
