Super glue was designed to be a very strong adhesive. It quickly creates a bond that seals plastic, rubber, wood, and other substances in seconds and doesn’t let go. If you accidentally glue your fingers together, or glue them to a mug or table leg you are fixing, it’s easy to get stuck fast.

How to get super glue off your nails
How to remove super glue from skin. If you get super glue on or under your fingernails, acetone is the answer. Here’s what you need to do:
- Cover the surrounding skin with petroleum jelly (Vaseline). This will help protect sensitive skin.
- Get out the acetone. Acetone is most commonly found in nail polish remover.
- Cover the nail in acetone. You can use a cotton ball, and rub the nail to remove the glue. If you’re having trouble reaching an area under the nail, try a cotton bud.
How to remove super glue from hair
There’s no need to cut your hair – a simple hair wash should suffice. Just use a generous amount of shampoo, rinse, apply conditioner, and then rinse again. You should wash and comb your hair gently, to avoid irritating your scalp. If there’s still a little bit of glue in your hair, simply repeat the process until it’s all gone.
Don’t use commercial glue remover on your hair, as it might irritate your scalp. Shampoo, conditioner and a comb should be all you need.
Use margarine if you have sensitive skin
A milder alternative, if you have sensitive skin and are concerned about the effects of the acetone, is to use margarine. Gently rub the margarine into the affected area until the glue comes away.
Make a salt and water paste
Another alternative to acetone (although less advisable if you have any cuts or damaged skin close by) is to add salt to a small amount of water to make a paste, and apply it to the affected area. Rub it in, rinse it away, and repeat the process if the glue lingers. If the glue is sticking two fingers together, rub the paste between the fingers until they gently come apart.
Use lemon juice for stubborn superglue
If you’ve followed our guide for how to get super glue off your hand put the glue is proving stubborn, try the method above using lemon juice rather than water. The acidic agents in lemon juice will work on the glue at the same time as the abrasive properties of the salt.
Warm Water and Soap
Start with the easiest method: using soap and warm water. This simple DIY solution for super glue skin removal is particularly effective if the glue has not fully dried. It can work in cases where your fingers are stuck together or stuck to another object. Soak the affected area in warm water, and then gently peel or rub the glue from your skin. You can also try scraping residue from the area with a blunt object. However, if this method doesn’t work or is painful, you may need to use another method.
Nail Polish Remover (Acetone)
Nail polish remover, or acetone, can effectively remove super glue from your hands or skin. Pour the acetone into a basin and soak your hand or skin for several minutes. Minimize the time your skin is in contact with the nail polish remover, as prolonged contact can cause irritation. Remove your hands from the bowl frequently to check if the glue has dislodged. Repeat the process until the glue loosens. Afterward, wash your hands with soap and water and apply a moisturizer.
Acetone is an effective solution for dissolving glue, but it can cause skin irritation and be painful if the skin is broken, irritated, or cut. Acetone may also damage or discolor materials, so using acetone to remove an object stuck to your skin with super glue may not be ideal in some cases. As a liquid, nail polish remover is a less targeted solution that can run away and evaporate more quickly compared to gelled solvents.
Lemon Juice
To remove super glue from your hands, you can also soak them in lemon juice, giving the acid in the juice time to break down the bond. Pour lemon juice into a bowl and soak the affected area for up to 10 minutes. After, use a dry towel to gently rub or push off the glue residue. Other natural solutions, such as olive oil, coconut oil, or butter may also help remove super glue from your skin.
