How to remove super glue from plastic?

Remove super glue from plastic - one of the most difficult tasks. And the problem is that the structure of the dried glue is the most similar to the structure of plastic, which is what complicates the process. Solvents, which are often used, dissolve not only glue, but also the plastic itself. Therefore, in this situation, you need to dispense with chemicals. Here are examples of exactly the ways that will be useful to you.

Water

This method has both its advantages and disadvantages. Water is the longest, but the safest method:

1. Take a small rag and soak it in water( the water should not drain off the rag, it should be slightly damp).
2. This cloth will need to rub the place of contamination with glue until it completely disappears.
3. The cloth must be wet all the time, that is, it must be periodically moistened.

If you want to make your task easier, you can:

• wet a piece of cloth to attach to a contaminated place;
• all this covered with a plastic wrap.

Such a compress will have to be left for a day. Because of moisture, the solution will get wet and it will be easier to wipe off the super glue from the plastic.

Important! This method of cleaning water is suitable only for fresh spots, which are not more than a week. For durable pollution, water is not an option, you simply waste time

Soapy solution

It is they who can wipe off the super glue that is on the surface not the first day:

1. Prepare a fairly strong solution of laundry soap and water.
2. Clean the area with glue.

You can also prepare a compress. The procedure is similar to using water, but you will need to change the tissue a little more often.

Important! When removing the adhesive from the plastic, it is necessary to take into account the geophysical features of these materials. The composition of any super glue includes the substance "cyanoacrylate".It is thanks to him that the glue can wither so quickly. But even this can be prevented. The glue will never dry quickly in a slightly humid environment, but excessive moisture also contributes to drying - the solution will become viscous and it will be easy to remove.

Ethanol

In general, alcohol is not able to dissolve the glue, but it can tear off its top layer. Simply moisten the cotton wool with ethanol and rub it gently with the place where the glue dripped. Do it will need to be several visits. After that it will be necessary to remove the glue.

Knife

Than to remove super glue from plastic without application of liquid solvents? To do this:

1. Take the knife.
2. With your blunt side, start ripping off the dried glue.

Important! It will not be easy to do, but it's worth trying. If you are afraid of damaging the plastic with a knife, you can use the hard side of the sponge.

Dimexide

This product can be found at the pharmacy. And if there is a question about the dried glue, then "Dimexide" - exactly what you need, it will easily dissolve the cytocoacrylates. But at the same time, it is necessary to take into account the following:

1. "Dimexide" is very dangerous for plastic, it dissolves it together with glue.
2. It is not recommended to use this product in its pure form.
3. It's best to make compresses. But you do not need to hold them for an hour, but a few minutes. After that, the glue will become thick and viscous. In this form it is easy to roll into balls.

Important! Carefully consider the plastic. If there are damages on its surface, then it is better to reject the use of Dimexide.

Acetone

In its pure form this agent is used very rarely. In everyday life, a means for removing varnish based on acetone is most often used.

Important! If you need to wipe off the super glue, the composition of which is unknown, then acetone is the best option. It is less aggressive than Dimexide, but it can also cause trouble. Therefore, one must be extremely cautious when using it.

This tool is used as follows:

1. First you need to conduct an experiment and check if the acetone is suitable for your plastic. At an inconspicuous place, apply very little of this product, after 15 minutes, look at the results. If everything went well, you can safely use acetone.
2. In the place where the glue has gotten, use acetone or a cleaner to remove varnish with a cotton pad.
3. Wait for about an hour.
4. Begin to peel off the adhesive with the hard side of the sponge.
5. After a few calls you will achieve the desired result.

Antiklei

The problem with stains from such a solution is quite serious, so they came up with a special tool that will help you remove super glue from plastic easily and quickly.

Important! Not every "Antikley" is suitable for every super glue. On some, he can react, but on some - not. Therefore, if the "Antiklay" does not work, you do not need to get upset. You can just try out another composition.

The principle of your actions will be as follows:

1. Apply a small amount of "Anticlay" to the place of contamination.
2. After a couple of hours, start tearing off the glue, it will be stuck in lumps.

We figured out how to wash off the super glue from the plastic. But not only on the plastic surface it can get, wood often suffers. It's about it that we now talk.
