To get your skin unstuck from Superglue’s grip—use fingernail polish remover. [View all]

It takes time and it takes patience, but it does work.

It’s not like you can just rub in on with a cloth, or pour it over the stuck area, and it works right then. Sometimes you have to rub and rub with a cloth that’s been soaked in polish remover. Or, as I did the other day, soak your stuck fingers in a small cup of polish remover. Gradually, they became unstuck.

It’s best is to make sure you have fingernail polish remover on hand before monkeying with Superglue. 
