I just broke glass so I glued it together and now I have a giant lump of glue on my finger that feels like dead skin. And I'm typing with it.

You guys are life savers.
I was using superglue to make a bookmark and I got superglue on my fingers. I searched on youtube to see if there are any videos on how to remove superglue from your fingers. I saw your video and followed the instructions. In the end result all the superglue came and I was so happy 😁.
I am glad you guys made this video.
Thank you so much 😊!!!

Nail polish remover. "Never apply to lips or eyes." How sad is it that they have to tell people not to put nail polish remover on your eyeballs?

Instructions were unclear...I got my tongue stuck in the DVD player

It was a bit of a slow process but it worked. Especially giving the area a good scrub with the rough part of washing up sponge.

Super glue was also used in WWII by soldiers as well especially the Marines and here's
another tidbit.The liquid in coconuts was used as a substitution for plasma. This saved a
lot of soldiers lives during WWII.

I accidentally fell down the stairs and broke the thing I was holding, so before my dad could see that I broke it and grounded me I fixed it. It was very tiny though so I learned later after I got it all on my fingers that I should use something small to dip onto the glue than onto the item that was broken. I didn’t get in trouble and thats good 😊

[zoeskyler]

Thank you so much it actually worked!!

[lewdar_]

Super glue is used to this day for sealing minor wounds. Don't do it wrong though, as you might seal it too much and not leave room for light seepage if it gets infected. Not to mention, don't do this if there is possible nerve damage.
