Well I somehow got supper glue on my fingers and when I touched my glasses, some glue got onto my lense. I've tried acohol and nail polish remover. I cant think of any other ways to get the glue off my lense. Any ideas.

thanks

From what I've heard it's the moisture on your skin that speeds up the "stickiness" of the super glue. And since our bodies are mainly comprised of water, you should just cut your finger off, it's a lost cause man.

But seriously, every time I've gotten super glue on my fingers I've just waited it out.

it's not that his finger is glued to his glasses.

That lies out of my areas of expertise...

acetone nail polish remover is your best bet, if they are glass lenses you might be able to get it off. if they are plastic then you have to be really careful, as nail polish remover might cloud them up. superglue is a real b*tch to get off, chances are you wil need new lenses.

now as for your finger, that is real easy. Take a nail file and just run it over the super glue slowly. Don't worry, the skin wont come off.

Thanks, I've gotten SOME off my lenese with nail polish. Spent about 30 mins rubbing. My frames are plastic and they've pretty much fogged up from the nail polish. I'm more concerned about the lense though, I think I'll soak them over night and see how that goes.

Isn't there a superglue remover made by the same people who make superglue? Like...this?

I'm pretty sure Loctite makes some sort of super glue solvent thats safe with plastic.

*edit*
Have you tried rubbing it with oil? I've heard that that can work too.

If you have access to xylene, that will do it.

Patience always works.

About a week of it.

Acetone/nail polish remover only screws up certian types of plastic. It has no affect on others.

do u think goo gone will work?

its says its citrus based and i use it to get rid of stickers and permanent marker and yes, it is very oily

Some of these things would probably ruin the coating on your glasses. I always thought super glue was water soluble to some extent. Maybe try letting them sit in water overnight?
