Removing superglue

[Andy in Germany]

I just dripped superglue onto my good trousers. Does anyone know if there's a way to get it out again?

Acetone (nail polish remover) works to shift it on non-porous surfaces, but I'm not sure what it will do to your strides.

See the first response.

"Freezing causes the water molecules trapped in the superglue bond to expand, creating microfractures which weaken the bond enough that simple torsion is often enough to break the bond.

The only way to break the bond of an epoxy adhesive is with heat. The disadvantage of this is that such heat may be higher than the sublimation point of the metal used."

Enamel/cellulose thinners will probably also work.

And it doesn't damage most materials in my extensive experience of spilling stuff.
