Superglue - the name of adhesive compounds, the basis of which is cyanoacrylate, which has long become a household name. This is a Russian adaptation of the Super Glue trademark name, although our superglue has nothing to do with this adhesive.

The composition was invented back in 1942, when a chemist from America to Harry Kuveru worked on improving optical sights. In the course of research, it was possible to obtain an unusual substance that had excellent adhesive properties. But immediately the byproduct was not given due attention. And only in 1958, cyanoacrylate would be appreciated and began to be produced in the form of glue.

During the Vietnam War, American doctors used a means to glue soldiers' wounds: they stopped bleeding, saved parts of the body. Technology has spread all over the world. In the countries of the former USSR, mixtures that consist of cyanoacrylate were called superglue. Today superglue is represented by such brands as “Moment”, “Elephant”, “Second”, “Monolith”.

3 rules of "clean" work

Even if you carefully work with glue, there is still a high risk that it will fall on your hands and work surfaces - a table or floor. To avoid this, you must adhere to three rules for using instant glue.

Take care of hand protection. Wear rubber gloves before gluing. Cotton and wool will not work. When such materials come in contact with cyanoacrylate, an esothermic reaction is possible - the formation of heat. And as a result, fire and burn. For the same reason, you cannot glue paper, fabrics with superglue.
Cover the surface. Cover the table or floor area where you will be gluing with cellophane. If you are constantly engaged in needlework at home and often glue some details, then a large silicone napkin is useful in the household.
Put on the apron. Also choose polyethylene. This will protect clothing from glue. It is advisable to generally change into a "home" and hide the hair under a headscarf.

How to remove Moment glue from hands and remove super drops from skin

If the above measures are ignored, then be prepared to clean. First of all, manicure will have to save from glue. What to use?

Special "Antique"

Features Hardware and construction stores sell special glue removers. Often manufacturers call them "Antikley". The cost of a 5 g tube varies from 30 to 40 rubles (data for August 2017). The tool allows you to quickly cleanse the dirt, does not cause an allergic reaction.

What do we do

We take "Antikley" and put on the site contaminated with glue.
We are waiting for one hour (time is indicated in the manufacturer's instructions).
The residues are removed in warm water with soap and powder.

You can apply "Antiklay Super moment" of the German manufacturer Henkel, Chinese "Strength", Swiss "Second". If you clean your fingers from glue, then you do not need to keep the composition for an hour. It is possible to remove superglue faster from hands in this case, if you additionally use a non-rigid sponge.

Gentle solvent

Features Less safe, but you can quickly wash superglue from your fingers using solvents. In particular, containing acetone (nail polish remover). Gasoline ("Galosha") or white spirit should not be used. These are products for furniture and clothing, but not for the body.

What do we do

We take a cotton pad and moisten it in a nail polish remover.
We wipe super drops.
We rinse the skin with a warm soapy solution.

If the skin is delicate, damaged by scratches and cracks, then this method should not be used categorically. It is better to replace the solvent with ammonia. The procedure with him consists of the same actions.

Dimexide

Features Dimexide is available at the pharmacy. The tool is not only effective, but also budget. The drug is useful in the household not only for war with glue - it is an antiseptic that can also be used in the care of face and hair.

What do we do

We rinse the treated area with warm water.

Soap solution and salt

Features One of the most effective and simple ways to get rid of the stains of "Moment" are saline or soap solutions. The process is not fast, so you need to be patient.

What do we do

Soak pieces of soap in warm water or dissolve table salt (three tablespoons in one glass of water).
Soak hands in the bath for 10-15 minutes.
We rinse with water.

For a greater effect against glue, use a sponge, washcloth. You can also add a little vinegar to the bath, but only if there are no irritations and wounds on the skin.

Edible oils

Features The question of how to wipe superglue from the skin of the hands can be closed with these foods. This is a budget and the simplest solution to the problem. It is also absolutely safe for the skin.

What do we do

Thickly grease the places contaminated with glue with butter or vegetable oil.
Leave for five to seven minutes.
Rinse your hands in a soapy bath.

By the same principle, cosmetic creams work against glue. But it is important that there is a greasy, thick consistency. Suitable, for example, children's.

Mechanical stripping

Features The method is tough. Caution is advised so as not to harm the skin. Used pumice, nail file, sandpaper. Great if there are several layers of glue left on the surface of the hands.

What do we do

We take sandpaper, a nail file or pumice.
Gently clean the dried stain from the glue.

It is better to choose sandpaper - "nulevka", and the nail file should be of medium hardness. This will protect the skin from damage. Categorically it is impossible to tear apart fingers glued with glue from each other with sharp movements.

How to save tight fabrics and shoes

How and by what means it is possible to wash the Moment glue from thick clothes and shoes is a question that arises when protection was not put on when using the product.

We are waiting for a couple of hours before the appearance of spots on the surface of the glue from small cracks.
We take out the thing from the freezer and three dirt with a metal brush until the glue crumbles.
We erase a thing manually or in a typewriter.

Before putting the product in the freezer, it is recommended to place it in a plastic bag. But the problem part should remain open, for example, a place where there is pollution from torn off rhinestones. The remaining glue can be erased using manicure tools, needles.

Iron

Features Before you remove the dried Moment glue from clothes, you should know that the mixture is afraid of not only low, but also high temperature conditions. At 80 ° C, it softens and melts. A hot iron is perfect. For delicate fabrics, the method is not applicable.

What do we do

From the inside and outside of the thing we put a plain cotton fabric that does not fade, or paper.
On both sides iron the glue stain.
