help! dried in superglue on worktops

Otago
Posts: 108 Forumite
My drawer front fell apart in my 'hygena gold' kitchen and its only 2 years old. Very badly designed as there arent any dowells, the edges are simply glued together.
I got myself into a right fangle trying to superglue the front back on and have made a mess with the superglue. There is residue and excess on my gloss worktops and on the high gloss drawer front too.
Any suggestions on how to shift it? It has dried in white on black worktops and grey units!:eek:

OK, at least I know there is such a product now, thank goodness. I will ask at my B&Q and hopefully they will know of this neutraliser. if anyone knows of the name please post away! Many thanks0

Had the same problem. Used a Stanly knife blade very slowly and carefully, almost flat to the surface. Worked O K.I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0

Try and find a company that supplies the double glazing trade.That's where the company i worked for would have got theirs.0

Try some petrol on it it worked for me fine. Soak a small cloth with enough petrol to dampen and then rub it on .Use Gloves and be very careful.0

If you want to test the depth of the water .........don't use both feet !0

If you have a spare piece of worktop from the kitchen its a good idea to do a spot test first before using any product on your worktop indoors. You say it has a high gloss so I'd be very careful what I'd use on it. If you don't have any worktop kicking about then spot test in an area that you wouldn't be able to see. e.g where the microwave sits....or somewhere you won't see if the gloss is taken off by the product.
