How do I remove super glue from kitchen counter? I have tried nail polish remover and it does not work.?

The active ingredient in almost every Nail Polsih Remover is acetone, it has a very low vapor pressure and so it evaporates almost instantly from the surface to which it is applied. A better solvent for this task is Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), it has a higher vapor pressure than the Acetone so it works on the Cyanoacrylate (super glue) for a longer period of time. If the countertop that you spilled the CA (Cyanoacrylate) on is a solid surface countertop like Corian you might have problems since it is another acrylic resin that could be dissolved by the MEK. For the sake of Saving possibly thousands of $'s, please, please, please test the MEK on an inconspicuos area first. If it dissolves the countertop material, follow the other suggestion and degrade the CA by placing a terry cloth rag over the top of the spill and pouring hot (not boiling) water over it. Water slowly breaks down the CA and the increased heat will accelerate the process.How do I remove super glue from kitchen counter? I have tried nail polish remover and it does not work.?
You may need to use a paint scraper for glass etc. and use the acetone again to help soften the glue. Depending what the surface is you could try using fine sandpaper on the spot.How do I remove super glue from kitchen counter? I have tried nail polish remover and it does not work.?
Super glue remover
No matter what people say super glue is not that 'super'....


It will absorb water so all you need is a moist cloth using hot water and leave it on the glue for a long time, it will soften and lift off.
Try acetone, it normally will remove anything....
Maybe try paint thinner?

Artificial nail glue effects?

I know that if you get it wet a lot that fungus can grow and I know what the nails are like after you take them off and whatnot.





But there are myths that the clue can eventually give you some sort of cancer and a lot of other stuff?





I'm really confused and I'd just like to know the actual effects of using acrylic/artificial nail glues so I don't have any fears for the future.Artificial nail glue effects?
No it doesnt give you cancer, they just say it infects your nails. But i dont think it gives you some sort of cancer.





It could be infected cause they don't clean the tools they use on other people.


So i dont know.Artificial nail glue effects?
Well this summer I bought fake nails and put them on and I hated them. They ruined my nails. When I took them off it ripped of part of my original nail because they were so hard to get off and stuck on. They also left a residue on my nails that didn't come off until 3 months later. My advice is: DON'T USE THEM.

    Soaking in cool water will remove water-soluble glues, e.g. casein glue. For waterproof varieties, use spirit solvent, e.g. methylated spirits (wood alcohol) or amyl acetate (test before using on synthetic fabrics). Artificial Nail glue can be removed used acetone (test on an inconspicuous area first). Acetone evaporates quickly, so hold a wad of absorbant paper or soft cloth against the glue, and soak the acetate through from the other side.
