Title: Easy way to remove CA/Cyanoacrilate/Super glue off your work tables, cloths, etc
Post by: AnjanBabu on July 01, 2013, 01:01:54 AM
So i had spilled some cyanoacrilate glue on my pants the other day an it looked quiet ugly, i did some checking on getting rid of that ugly patch of glue without damaging my pants too much and I learned that Acetone dissolved CA/Cyanoacrilate/Super glue and a common source of Acetone could be thinner/nail polish remover. I tried  some thinner on my pants and it dissolved the glue in a few seconds of gentle rubbing on the glue stains.

WARNING: If trying to get rid of stains on cloths, do not agitate the fabric too much while rubbing, add few drops of thinner and gently rub your finger over it, else, it might remove the color of the fabric at that spot.
If trying to get rid of stains on painted surfaces, make sure the thinner doesn't dissolve the pain on the stained surface.

You could also try dipping the portion in boiling water immediately after the spill.
