Default Super Glue Removal

What is the best way to get rid of super glue on the skin? I don't have any chemicals in my dorm. Anyone have any ideas? I just have a little bit on my finger.

Go visit the nearest female and ask to borrow some acetone nailpolish remover. It has to be of the acetone variety (if it says it'* safe for artificial nails, it won't work). Soak you superglued skin in the nailpolish remover and you should be good to go.

Yeah, but I'd be concerned if someone was stashing paint thinner in a GVSU dorm hall.

I wouldn't. Strange stuff happens here.

I was gluing my room number sign back up and a little went on my fingers.

nail polish is your best bet, try margarine if you cant find the acetone.

I used Goo Gone. Citrus seemed to work for me. There are still traces.

Thank you all for being concerned.
