Question: (ANSWER NOW) How to melt superglue off skin?
my brother picked up some superglue and now his thumb and his index finger are stuck together, any ideas fast because hes screaminf

Answers:

Fingernail polish remover. You can't melt off superglue without burning him severely plus it'll will emit some nasty fumes when heated.

Without fingernail polish remover, you can soak it in rubbing alcohol...sometimes that will loosen it enough to pull it loose without removing his skin, but don't force it...be gently.



Jimi Fella,
As has been mentioned by most of the answers, Acetone-based nail polish remover is the first choice for removing superglue on the skin. For future reference, the following details may be useful. Should Super Glue bond to any body part where acetone should not be applied, such as the lips or eyes, the following steps will help you get out of any sticky situation! Skin - Immerse bonded areas in warm, soapy water. Peel or roll skin apart; a spatula or teaspoon handle or even a pencil will help. Remove cured adhesive with warm, soapy water (may take several applications). Fingernail polish remover with an acetone base has also been successful for removal of cured adhesive from skin. Lips - If lips are accidentally stuck together, apply a generous amount of warm water and encourage maximum wetting and pressure from saliva from inside the mouth. Peel or roll (do not pull) lips apart. It is almost impossible to swallow the adhesive as a liquid. The adhesive solidifies upon contact with saliva (moisture) and could adhere to the inside of the mouth. Saliva will lift the adhesive in 1-2 days, avoid swallowing the adhesive after detachment. Eyelid - In the event that the eyelid(s) are stuck together or bonded to the eyeball, wash thoroughly with warm water and apply a gauze patch. The eye will open without further action within 1-4 days. To my knowledge there has never been a documented case of adhesive in the eye causing permanent damage. Do not try to force the eyelids open.
