I Need Some Advice About Super Glue

I don't use Super Glue very often. Maybe once every 4 to 6 years. Well, I used it today to fix a brace on an end table. I think it's going to work and save that little piece of furniture but in the process of being a handy dandy man I got a couple of drops of Super Glue on my finger tips. The stuff works very quickly. It's on my fingertips and it won't come off. Hot soap and water doesn't even remotely work. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please don't say, "Fingernail polish remover," because I don't have any in my home. I also don't have any lighter fluid. I also don't have any hydrochloric acid. Does anyone have some helpful tips for me?

use Sodium bicarbonate . It works nicely. two drops of lemon should also be added.

Thank you, @macarrosel - I'm not so worried anymore. I hope 'soonest' is quick.

I have had that happen but never worry about it too much. After a while is comes off.

Sorry, you took the only one I knew about that would work. But maybe, now I don't know if it would work or not, but what about lemon juice. It's an acid, maybe that would work. Not saying it will but it's a thought and you just might have some of that on hand.

I have done that many times. The only time it is really a problem is if you glue your fingers together, or to something else.

Forget about the glue and it will peel off in a few hours.
