I haven't tried it yet but, I believe nail polish remover or acetone will do the trick. I would try to dab at it with a Q-tip first. Good luck. I'm sure somebody here has a tried-and-true method, if that doesn't work.

Have you ever squeezed a tube of what you thought was GEL super glue when in reality it was just a tube of plain ole RUNNY liquid super glue? Its not pretty when your gluing the skin on a fake head down LOL!!

If you haven't done that then you haven't used a lot of superglue LOL. Don't go to the restroom with some excess superglue on your fingers either WOW
