Anyone know how to get superglue off of skin?

I picked up the tube and squeezed it a little, and it came gushing out, down the bottle, and onto my fingers. Luckily, the paper ripped off of the sticker, so the tube is not stuck to my hands, but I have a gig on the 4th, and can't play guitar with slick fingers. I tried some acid aluminum cleaner(phosphoric and hydroflouric-washed hands with bakingsoda afterwards), and it got most of it off, but there is still quite a bit of it left. Any Ideas?

Thanks fellas. Came right off.
anyone else have superglue stories?
I use it to fix cuts all the time, esp. on my fingers or a busted nuckle, since a band-aid won't stay.

I just use it to fix stuff. My dad used it to glue his finger back on once. Still has it too. He cut off 3/4'' of his traffic finger.

Cyano (Superglue) for R/c planes, glueing cut together, and stories?

LOL
Try this on for size:

My good buddy had a bottle in the car, and decided to fix the weatherstriping in his dads caddilac. No knife to be seen. so, he gets a good hold of the bottle, sticks it between his teeth, and bites down and twists! LOL Shot superglue all inside his mouth, glueing his tongue to his upper mouth, and lips together

LOL



It was sooooooooooooo funny. He still can't laugh at it!

oh and this is INSTANT cyano. Like 1-2 seconds work time!

Anyone know how to get superglue off of skin?

Years ago when I worked the night shift, I had every other weekend off and one night during the week. On the weeknight I had off I would stay up all night so as not to throw my sleep schedule off. One night I was working on a balsa and tissue model of an FW-190 and dumb old me glued my right thumb and forefinger together. This is when I discovered I was out of nail polish remover. So at 3:00 in the morning I walked over to the 7-11 and bought a bottle. The clerk watched me remove my wallet with my thumb and finger stuck together. He had a puzzled look on his face until he looked at what I was buying. Then he laughed.
"Superglued your fingers together, huh?"
"Yeah."
"Well, don't feel bad. I've done it myself."
The model airplane turned out great. Flew quite nicely.

At 29 centsw a bottle its kinda hard to not justify keeping a bottle around, I use the stuff to clean paint brushes and stuff that gasoline can't be used.

You can also super glue locks shut, so the key won't go in and you can't unlock it from the inside, either.
