Maybe I’m pushing the subject matter envelope a bit. For me, this trick has saved me a lot of time when I do get superglue on my hand. The less time I spend picking superglue off my fingers the more time I have to do other things.

Marc B,

Was just thinking it might be hard to get anything done with fingers (and / or eyes) plastered with SuperGlue? Just a thought ….

That is a great resource for those who fiddle around with super glue, but I am kind of puzzled as to how this relates to productivity. Having a dry spell? lol

I usually use medical spirit to get rid of super glue. If its on my fingers only I just get myself a “prune fingers” by placing my hand in a warm bowl of water for some time and the glue just peels off.

DW-40 works wonders in removing superglue not only from skin, but from many other surfaces as well (although certainly not recommended to put in one’s eyes!).

Check out the following PDF for 2000 uses for WD-40: http://www.wd40.com/pdfs/WD-40_2000UsesList.pdf

huh.

there you go.

I get superglue on my hands all the time – I’m a product engineer, always making fiddly little prototypes.

I wonder if this works for Loctite too… it’s a bit different to your superglue…
