You know the drill. One second, you’re carefully fixing your favorite mug, and the next, your fingers are permanently fused together like some low-budget sci-fi experiment. Super glue is supposed to bond instantly—just not to your skin, clothes, countertops, or the family dog. (Yes, it happens.)
Before you panic and consider amputation (don’t), here’s the good news: Super glue is stubborn, but not invincible. With the right tricks, you can dissolve, scrape, or soak it away from almost anything—without turning your life into a DIY horror story.
