How to Remove Super Glue from Your Hands? Super glue, commonly used in the construction and hardware maintenance industries, is a type of solvent-based adhesive known for its wide range of applications and ease of use, suitable for bonding materials like wood, aluminum-plastic panels, leather, synthetic leather, plastic, rubber, and metal. If you happen to get super glue on your hands, here's how to remove it. Below, the super glue manufacturer provides some tips. First, if a large area is affected by 502 glue, apply it to the skin and wait for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove it. Second, if 502 glue is on your hands for a short time, soak your hands in water and scrub vigorously. Third, if a small area of skin has 502 glue, simply soak it in hot water to remove it. Cover the stained area with a towel soaked in warm water until the stain dissolves, then rub your hands to remove the residue. Afterward, wipe with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Use a solution that dissolves 502 glue, wet the area, and then clean with a soft cloth. Finally, wash with a 2% solution and rinse clean.
