As we discussed here<\/a>, there are three basic ways to remove adhesive. Mainly, dissolving, heating, and stress.<\/p>\n

To remove cyanoacrylate adhesive most effectively, a combination of all three ways may be used.\u00a0 The deciding factors on which is most appropriate are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What are the surfaces bonded?<\/li>\n
  2. How much time do you have?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    On many surfaces, soaking the adhesive in warm water will help you pry the pieces apart or remove the adhesive from one surface.\u00a0 In either case, it is good to remember that standard cyanoacrylates are very brittle, they form strong bonds in shear but have little impact strength and virtually no elongation.\u00a0 Try to peel things apart instead of pull in shear.<\/p>\n

    Water is effective, but this may take a good bit of time.\u00a0 If the surfaces permit, you could soak the bond in nitromethane or acetone.<\/p>\n

    How to remove cyanoacrylate adhesive from various surfaces:<\/h2>\n

    Skin<\/h3>\n

    If you’ve bonded your eyelids or lips, get medical attention.\u00a0 If you’ve bonded your fingers, soak in warm soapy water and gently roll them together (as if you were rolling a pencil between your fingers).\u00a0 Don’t pull them apart as you’ll likely take the skin right off of one of your fingers.<\/p>\n

    Plastics<\/h3>\n

    If you can take the time to use water, this may be your best option.\u00a0 Both acetone and CA Solvent 100 can stress and cloud several plastics.\u00a0 It is best to test the solvent on the plastic prior to use.<\/p>\n

    Glass<\/h3>\n

    The good news here is that cyanoacrylate adhesives don’t bond well to glass so you can generally scrape it off with a razor blade.\u00a0 If the bond appears strong, you can use water, acetone, or CA Solvent 100 or simply wait a couple of days (the bond will degrade) and try again.<\/p>\n

    Metals<\/h3>\n

    Unlike glass, cyanoacrylate bonds to metal are strong. The good news here is that metals can resist high temperatures so boiling water, or room temperature acetone or CA Solvent 100 will work.<\/p>\n
