My husband spilled an entire bottle of super glue in a long wavy line across the kitchen counter...any suggestions?

1. try goo gone
2. Try boiling water. This might soften it
3. Fingernail polish remover will breakdown the superglue. Be sure to ventilate while you are using it.
4. finger nail polish remover it is the actual solvent for superglue
5. see if lighter fluid or paint thinner can get it off. make sure that there's NO OPEN flame in the kitchen and that its well-ventilated first.
6. you can try nail polish remover
7. you would want to use something that will disolve the superglue but not hurt the countertop, obviously. I beleive that your nail polish remover will work, as will laquer thinner, but dont leave that on the counter too long. Pour some into a cloth and rub just over the glue. Let the cloth dry spread out outside when you are finished. It could combust if you just wad it up somewhere!
8. Acetone polish remover followed by a double edged razor blade scraping the rest off.
9. Unfortunately.. you did not say if the super glue was on ceramic, tile, wood or what...If it was corian, I would use a scraper that has a razor blade in it but VERY carefully.. then Corian comes with a buffer material and would then use that.. If other, I would use the razor blade knife thing but NOT NOT NOT to scratch the surface so the angle would have to be held JUST right.. I would also try a warm soapy water first with slight rubbing to see if I could get off some of it and/or soften it for the razor blade treatment.
10. Super Glue remover is available at larger hardware stores. or try acetone-base nail polish remover Warnings: Don't use solvents such as gasoline or paint thinner.
11. Acetone.
12. Use fingernail polish remover with acetone to remove it. Must be with acetone, the acetone is not strong enough for this.
13. Nail polish remover or Goo Gone! Works wonders
