Accidents are bound to occur and some may even happen at the comfort of our homes. Although ideally you should seek medical attention from a qualified personnel, sometimes you can solve some of the common issues on your own. An example of such an irritating issue is spillage of super glue on one’s hand.
Super glue can be very irritating when it drops on one’s hand as it tends to stick thus forming a clot on the hand which can be very tough to remove. You can remove it by carefully trying to peel it off. However, this may be painful as super glue is adhesive to the skin and so it may come off with the skin. The best way however, of removing the super glue from your hand is by first soaking the affected part in some warm soapy water for some time until it becomes soft and then rubbing the place until the glue peels away.
It may take some time however it is worth it. Sometimes the super glue might not be able to be removed this way. If that is the case, then you may use a nail polish remover that contains acetone. You apply the nail polish, which breaks down the super glue bond, and then you roll your fingers over that area until the bond loosens and the super glue peels off. You may also need to apply some body lotion on the area to moisturize it as nail polish can very drying to the skin.
For those who may not be in possession of a nail polish remover, you can use some greasy liquids such as margarine, petroleum jelly or a laundry detergent. You may also try to make some paste from a mixture of salt and water as it is also effective in removing super glue.
