super glue

[djf750]

while glueing my glasses, i got some on the lens....any way to get it off without sanding?

If I remember right you can use non acetone finger nail polish remover.... or just buy the commercially available super glue remover.

If you've got plastic lenses, you might want to be careful before applying strong solvents- it might eat away some lens along with the super glue.

You might want to try putting your glasses in the freezer and then trying to scpe it off. Don't know, but it might make it easier to remove.

Plain old paint thinner works pretty well..

Loctite's (maker of super glue) site recommends

acetone (nail polish remover), or Super Glue Remover...

I don't think nail polish remover will damage your eyeglass lenses. But I make no promises.

I just glued mine back together with the stuff, too.

or you could just carefully pick it off with an X-acto knife. that's what I do

Or you can try model airplane engine fuel. I forget which component it is, but Super Glue Remover is just one of the components of MA fuel.

A belt-sander will take that pesky glue right off.

You guys don't read very scientific....Call the people who made your glasses & ask them. Easy.

A note on super glue repairs. My friend the optician has frequently voiced a desire to add a "super glue surcharge" to glasses mended with it. Apparently it can create real problems if you intend to have the glassed repaired profesionally in the future.
