I finally managed to finish part of my Sora Naegino cosplay this week but it was not without sqealing as I kept thinking that I would glue my hand to my head or something.
All of us have gone though this multiple times; the annoying numb sensation because you have a thick layer of Superglue on your hand! It is not very practical at all!! It keeps flaking and you could barely feel a thing. It is not a clever idea to bite it all off as it could cause more trouble than before.
The quick solution? NAIL POLISH REMOVER!
That is right! By using an Acetone based nail polish remover you can soften the glue. The Acetone creates a reaction to the cyanoacrylate by softening it,
Be sure to soak you skin in soapy water as it would help loosen it a little quicker. Then simpy apply the nail polish remover after lightly drying your hands. Acetone degrades the polymer and gets rid of the icky feeling.
Acetone dehydrates your skin so be sure to treat your hands to some moisturizer at the end. You may want to wash yor hands too as it smells icky!
Whatever you do do not use cotton be it be buds or whatever. Cotton contains cellulose that would fizzle and burn in reaction to the Cryanoacrylate.
