Fingers glued together?

Submitted by Micaela

If your fingers get glued together with nail glue or something simular, use nailpolish remover with a cotton ball and dab it over the glue.

I tried the nail polish remover but it didn't work. I had glued my finger to the side of the glue tube where it had dripped down. When I soaked in in the soapy water for a minute, I was able to slowly work them apart. Good luck.   fingers glued together.

I soaked in warm soapy water, then applied nail polish remover, soaked again, then cut the glue as it pulled apart from my finger slightly. After I got my fingers separated, I was able to peel the glue off -- tedious, but successful.   unglue fingers Comments By: stucky on 2008-12-16 Painters Acetone will remove super glue   removing super glue Comments By: mr stone on 2009-05-06 I managed to glue 2 fingers and my thumb together.Soaked my fingers in hot soapy water, no joy.

I just soaked in the Green Works for 30 seconds or so, then slowly wiggled the pointy tip of the file in between my fingers until they popped apart. Didn't take long at all.   Fingers and thumbs Comments By: Claw boy on 2010-10-13 I hold the record for 4 fingers on one hand and 2 fingers to a thumb on the other hand. I find the 3 fingers and thumb are great for opening another tube of glue to reapply over the affected areas. This will wet the hardened glue and then...dammm... I'm stuck...help... keyboard has stuck to my omni-claw.
