    The best way to get it off is to use nail polish remover. Here is a good link to help you out.

    this happened to my dad, we bought like 5 different soaps that are "suppose" to get of anythin but it didnt work at all.. he got some wierd crazy glue on his hands and arms, it took him a couple of weeks to get it off... crazy glue is a little bit stronger than super glue... i would go out and try some soaps that will get it off, scrub hard for a long time and it should come off!!

    The only thing i can think of is letting it dry then picking it off, it works with nail glue!

    umm well, when ever i got super glue on my hands, i first used hot water to wash it. then i used some of the baby oil stuff. then you scrape it off with a like harder side of the sponge. it kinda hurts but it works

    you can do this several different ways use nail polish which is common thing to find in your medicine cabinet. other non conventional thing to use is paint thinner. Or if you can find a high concentrated soap like a grease remover like you find in a auto parts store. Good luck

    rub some vaseline or oil liberally on your skin and leave it there for some time. it will easily take off the glue.

    Try nail polish remover or maybe rubbing alchoal or wash it, cover it in soap and scrub it off. Or maybe you could pull it off like waxing!!!n JK about the last one (unless it works!)

    Try nail polish remover with acetone in it - that has worked for me before!

    Goo Gone will work.

    Go to your local hardware store. Either that or paint thinner.
