jeremycee Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 i had just got home from picking up a nice gorgonian and as i was opening the fresh top to brand new superglue gel it shot out under pressure it seemed like into my tank. i picked through most of it except their is a streak on the outside of the front of my tank glass and fingers and now I'm pissed haha. does anyone know the best way to remove this?

tjwaggoner Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 If it's on glass just razor blade it off. That's what I'd try anyway Link to comment
jbb Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Outside of glass should be pretty easy with a razor blade . Link to comment
MikeTR Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Outside of glass should be pretty easy with a razor blade . it's when you get it on the kitchen counters.. that's when your ass is in some trouble. Link to comment
kimberbee Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've read rubbing alcohol or baby oil helps if you get it on your skin... Link to comment

William halligan Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Use nail polish remover with acetone Link to comment
jeremycee Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 thanks guys, everything is cool. i just freaked out for a second, that was overwhelming. Used acetone on a qtip and scraped it away with a razor. Im filing the shit off my hands right now. Hopefully everything else just floated to the top. i guess ill find out if my corals are screwed tomorrow haha. Link to comment

LongDoggy Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've glued my fingers together before. Not a good feeling, puts chineese handcuffs to shame. Recently when glueing a frag, some superglue shot onto my beard. That sucked. Took about a few days of brushing to get it out. Link to comment
