Help......super glue

‎08-01-2015 01:05 PM

I have a super glue glob on my Formica counter top. I have soaked it in Goo Gone, but it isn't loosening it. Anyone tried something that works?  TIA. Demitra

It's really difficult to remove.  I had luck getting most of a glob off a counter but putting ice on it for about 10 minutes then popping it off with a metal spatula.

I use nail polish remover when I get it on my fingers- try a dab of that..  it's the acetone what removes it.

I agree that nail polish remover will work.

Another vote for nail polish remover. It must have acetone in it to remove the super glue.

Be careful with acetone.  It may dull the finish on the formica.

Good luck getting it off. I did this to our brand new countertop 2 years ago and nothing worked. Luckily you can't really see it, but I know it's there and it bothers me.

I got some on a shirt and never got it out.  But I did wear a hole through the shirt.
