Seachem glue got on my desk. Having a hard time removing it. Any ideas?

[DannoOMG]

I tried nail polish remover but I still have these streaks on my desk. Driving me nuts.

Did you use pure acetone? Acetone gets it for me, but you might have to do it a few times. Then soap and water.

I will have to try that. I had the paper towel down and everything and I still made a mess.

Yes, need to check that. Some bottles say "non acetone"

You could also try Denatured alcohol (use with caution, highly flammable) and or 95-100% IPA solution. They also make superglue solvent which also works well.

Remember the correct order
1 - Unglue frag from hand
2 - Unglue tube of glue from thumb
3 - Unglue fingers from eachother
4 - Worry about the table

That’s the exact order — too many times, myself.

Haha, no joke, I got super glue gel in my eye once when glueing a frag. There was a bubble in the tube and when it popped a small drop of glue shot up into my eye. I guess it wasn't the strangest thing the folks in the ER had seen.

OUCH!

OUCH!

Haha turned out to be no big deal. The other half of the story is that I "had to glue one frag real quick" before leaving for the airport to catch a flight. Suffice it to say that I missed the flight. I also now have a "no screwing with the reef tanks within 24 hours of flying" rule. Keeps me from messing things up when I don't have time to fix them.
