      So as not to hijack another thread, I’m posting a response here.

      You can usually remove cyanoacrylate (CA) glue from skin by just waiting and peeling it off. Maybe my skin is just sweatier or oilier than most, but I’ve not had a problem.

      If you want to hurry it along, try an acetone-based nail polish remover. Acetone is a solvent for CA glue. But I’d not recommend this for large areas as I don’t know how healthy it is.

      Another option, should you have the luxury of time or have some on hand is a glue debonder. This is a good way to unglue fingers stuck together, etc.

      If you have glue near or in your eyes or mucous membranes, I’d suggest a trip to the ER.

      CA glue bonds skin really well, I’ve heard it was developed for field-closing of wounds. I often use it if I get a clean cut on my fingers while working.
