glued my fingers together again

[reefkprz]

no matter how long I have been doing this I manage to still glue myself together or to something once in a while...... gloves, remember the gloves. unfortunately I peeled my fingers apart before I thought to snap a picture.

Been there, done that...but usually with models, not reefkeeping. Thinset ZapCA is MUCH more likely to glue your fingers than CA gel is.

Nail polish remover helps with super gluing your fingers together.
Sometimes we just don't learn eh?

Run your fingers thru your hair (assuming you still have some) before you touch the glue, the light coating of oils will help....

That's a good idea!!! Thank you for that idea.
I have always heard that Acetone works pretty well for getting cyanoacrylate off of fingers...

yep, acetone will help.
Just remember that the acetone will wash all oils off you skin at the same time allowing the CA to stick even better the second time.

If not acetone try xylene. It is much stronger!

Actually, better yet... Mix up some really soapy hot water and add some acetone to it... Then apply it to the superglued area. That will completely get it off... very easily.
