How to get super glue out of clothing?
 
I accidently swiped my sleeve of my shirt on some super glue yesterday. Is there anyway to get it out or am I screwed?

DO NOT USE IPA! I REPEAT! DO NOT USE IPA! I spilt superglue all down my favorite trousers in my last job. 'IPA will save me' I thought 'There's nothing it can't do.' How wrong I was. It hardened worse than I've seen superglue do before. So much so that it snapped the fabric of my trousers when I tried to get it out.

So anything alchoholic is probably a no go. I believe Bostik used to sell an 'antidote' to it at one time. You might want to try looking in a hardware catalogue for something of the sort.

Cyanoacrylate Debonder

I have some called Super Solvent that I got at True Value.
Try a hobby shop. They may have some.

I used: a knife, butter knife,fork,nail polish remover, hair spray.
But I guess it takes a lot of washing to really get it out if it doesnt come out say bye bye to your shirt. Your lucky though cause super glue on jeans now that sucks the pants end up in the good will pile.
If you really like the shirt I hope the glue is in a spot ppl wont notice.

Not to thread jack or anything, but I just have this visual of SuperGlue and porn ala American Pie 2.

Acetone is going to be your best bet. If you know anyone that works in a medical lab or in a chem lab have them get you so lab grade acetone. We go through gallons of that stuff in my organic chem class

super glue is water soluble, soak it in water and some light soap. it will come out but it may take a bit. rub it to.

SUPERGLUE IS NOT WATER SOLUBLE!
It was designed to glue people back together. It's solvent is Acetone which is found in some (BUT NOT ALL) nail polish removers. (Know that smell, that's acetone). Acetone will dissolve superglue. But test it first to see how bad it might bleach the garment.

Remember kids: Water Dissolves Most Anything (see Grand Canyon), If not, try Alcohol, it that doesn't work try Acetone. Then If all else fails, MEK (Methyl Ethly Ketone) Will Disolve Just About anything else.

Like the development engineer was told. "Johnson has found the universal solvent, Now we need a bottle to hold it in."
