    Glad its not just me who manages these things....i have superglued hand togehter on numerous occasions, and when i was making fircone name settings for my wedding last year, had to go to work with a fir cone glued to my hand, as i knew we had some of the debonder there!! I also got home from work that day to find 1 or 2 of the fircones had managed to superglue themselves to the laminate flooring.

    OP hope your leg is ok now : )

    As already said Acetone based nail varnish remover is the destroyer of superglue!

    I superglued my hand to the tube of superglue last year. (It's not still attached!) Was looking after 6 sons/step sons at the time and they didn't laugh at all...... :-)
  • Back in the early days of Superglue (when appropriate solvents for it were not widely known, and before the Internet was around to help out!!!) my friend worked as a laboratory assistant in the chemistry labs at the local college.

    One day a rabbi turned up asking for help - he'd managed to glue his beard to his clothing. She said they tried all sorts of chemicals, sadly I can't remember if in the end had to resort to scissors...
