By Kelsey (Guest Post)

Thanks for all your advice! I glued my fingers together. The nail polished worked like a treat. Thanks guys xx

I randomly decided to fix a canvas painting that had torn. The super glue wasn't sticking to the wood/canvas, but I just glued my thumb and index finger to a mini tube of super glue and my middle finger was also glued to my index finger. these posts greatly assisted. I was able to patiently (and slightly anxiously) rub vegetable oil and googone.

The oil was KIND of working, but then we tried goo gone & it worked amazingly well. so goo gone is another option. thanks for all the suggestions though, figured I'd pay it forward & post my miracle substance :)

I just glued a button from my cell phone to my finger - I'm going to go olive oil the heck of it, let's hope it works.

Dad super glued his fingers together! Used hot soapy water, was useless, nail polish remover did the trick but took time. Will try olive oil next time. He's a man, so I can guarantee there WILL be a next time!

I need to get super glue off of an earing thats gold. What do you guys think would work?

I had a tube in my bag and it burst going all over my camera. Luckily the buttons still work, but its all over my screen. Should I try olive oil on it do you reckon?

Oh thank you! I stuck the tube to my face when I was gluing this broken cup back together. That was one of the most stupid things I have ever done.

Does this work on wooden models? Accidentally stuck wrong pieces together.

Nailpolish WITH Acetone was quicker and didn't remove any skin. Pour some on and wiggle your fingers (if that's whats stuck!) together for a couple of minutes. Thanks.

Thank you so much!! That advice got me out of a very sticky situation! I was trying use the superglue ..I guess the nozzle was blocked, and the next thing it had literally exploded from the side of the tube all over my hands and clothes!! The smell was overpowering.. Within seconds the glue had set all over my hands.. Luckily I had some sense and kept my fingers apart.. but it would not come off.. Acetate was useless, as was hot soapy water... Olive oil did the trick!! I'm banning the use of Superglue in our house from now on!!

Fingernail polish remover also works in unsticking super glue. However, if the area stuck is near the eyes, I would definitely use the oil.
