Glued my fingers together with superglue

Acetone or nail polish remover...

How do I get RapidFuse off my skin?

Use Acetone nail polish remover to get cured RapidFuse off your skin. Make sure it is Acetone nail polish remover. The non-acetone stuff won’t work. Wash your hands first to remove any un-cured adhesive with soap and water. Then wipe with an acetone soaked cotton pad. Do not try to pull or peel RapidFuse off.

I think you've heard from enough people who know the anser, so I'll answer even though I don't meet your criterion. Alas, despite famous stories like yours, super-glue has gotten on my hands and they never stick to anything. What am I to say when people call me a greaseball?

That's not grease all over your hand, Micky.

Geez - everyone agrees on something

In chem lab we were warned acetone can dissolve fats & oils from skin which can be uncomfortable or worse. Had that happen once. Use with caution.

I can't remember why we were messing around with it in high school chemistry but it one experiment I capped an Erlenmyer flask with the palm of my hand. Iy wasn't really a burn but I had the nicest little yellow circle on my palm as the NO2 combined with the moisture in my skin.

I have a feeling high school chemistry may be neutered these days.

good

Meh. That's what nail polish remover used to be made from. Now they use methyl acetate, allegedly because it smells better.

iirc it had some sort of oil in the mix to offset the acetone rather than straight hardware store acetone.

Thanks. I've never been a cosmetics girl. The last time I wore nail polish was for Halloween in the early 1990s. It felt like my nails were suffocating.

I can believe it. That's what happened to the girl in "Goldfinger". They painted her fingernails with gold and it killed her.

It was not just the nails, but the whole body in the story line. Something to do with the skin not being able to 'breve'.

Heh. Good one.
