    Nail file. :thumb:

    Last week I snapped one of my nails so super glued it on then gluedmyself to myself. I was drunk. Bu I filed the glue off my finger, works a treat.

    Hot water. Also a solvent like white spirit.

    Try washing up liquid in hot water, try not to soap it up too much. Sort of what they use in A&E.

    Solvent - Nail polish remover? Vodka?

    To remove super glue, use nail polish remover with acetone (available in lots of places). This will remove superglue from your fingers/body. I found this on "tell me how" website.

    I think you could be right about the vodka, but I can think of better ways to use vodka such as drinking it. :yum:

    Best thing to do is not to get it on your hands in the first place.

    With some superglues you may not be able to remove it and will just have to wait for it to go.

    :yes: Nail polish remover but make sure it has acetone in it. I used to get my fingers stuck together all the time, then my dad would have to unstick me. Works grand.
