Dude thank you! I was searching for a way to remove super glue without using acetone as it is too aggressive for painted surfaces. This worked incredibly well.
Scratching with a blade is perfect for painted surfaces
Off topic. But I just wanted to say, thank you so much for introducing me to Zinc Sulfate for super caps. That stuff is pure magic. Definitely some battery chemistry happening, I'm not far off from lithium energy density! Even just using grafoil on it's own with that stuff is crazy powerful!
Excellent video, many thanks. Another useful tip is to remove oil and grease from your hands use ordinary table salt and cooking oil! I use cheap sunflower oil. After rubbing the salt and oil into your hands for several minutes it's necessary to finish off with soap and water. The added bonus of this method is your hands are very soft afterwards.
I like this alot! I usually use sugar and dish soap. but sunflower oil and salt is the way to go! an added bonus of soft hands is a super +. Thank you for the tip mate! :)
@@MyNameIsLukey Great, I hope it helps.
This is interesting!
It took them 40 attempts to get their water displacing formula to work, but on the 40th attempt, they got it right in a big way. WD-40 Multi Use Product was born. WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, 40th formula
I thought you was joking but no. I Learned something new thanks
I never knew this! That is awesome, I'm definitely going to use this fact lol. Thank you mate! :)
I was trimming a spruce tree and I got the sap on my hands and mobile phone. In desperation I tried wd40 and it worked like a charm.
That's awesome! The amount of uses for this stuff is pretty much endless lol. I always stick to this, does it move - no, should it yes- use wd40. does it move - yes, should it - no, weld the bugger lol! Thank you mate! :)
WD-40 has so many uses, I couldn't list them all 🤣👍
You're adorable, enthusiastic and a great speaker!
I also use WD-40 to remove stickers from automotive parts. If you have an old sticker on your vehicle that you want to remove then just spray the sticker with WD-40, let it sit then get a credit card or plastic scraper and keep applying WD-40 as you are scraping and pulling the sticker off. Then come back with Alcohol to clean off the glue and put some wax over the spot where the sticker was and your are done.
Thanks!
NICE JOB indeed. Many thanks for the tip / solution, RMS. Excellent video presentation: amiable, friendly and professional.
Kind regards. Best to you.
Excellent tip.. I’m always in a mess after using CA glue … thanks for the video! 🙏
I tried this and it worked... Thanks Luke
WD40 also removes silicon sealant. Plumbers recommend it for cleaning away old silicon sealant before replacing it on sinks and bathroom fittings.
Thanks for this, useful
Brilliant little tip Luke 👏thanks mate 👍.
Thank you so much mate! :)
Dude I love your enthusiasm
Thanks for posting this I'm going to try this on my Fitbit. I used Krazy glue on the strap because it separated from the mechanism that clips onto the Fitbit. Now the strap is broken and I can't replace it because the glue is stuck on the mechanism and the Fitbit. Hopefully it work enough for me to be able to get a wedge in their and separating them. Thank you
Hey Luke, repeat this process with soapy water or shaving cream and a cheap shaving razor. I use this technique for getting super glue from my fingers , feels weird but it really works mate x
I always have super glue over my hands for some reason lol! I must give this a try because it's super annoying to remove, Thank you for the tip mate! :)
Nice one buddy! I’m currently to get super glue off a watch strap. Gonna try this! 👍🏻👍🏻
@@MichaelB2L hey! did it work?
@@amenakhan2808 Hi! I can’t remember haha but I use WD40 to remove glue, motor grease and stubborn sticky stuff at work. Works a treat
@@MichaelB2Lthank you for replying! :)
@@amenakhan2808 you’re welcome buddy 👍🏻
Excellent, thanks.
I had a command hook that wouldn’t stick, so in a tantrum I superglued it to the wall …..in my rented accommodation…. Which I’m now leaving 😅 how would you approach removing this? I have both acetone and wd-40 . If I have to put some filler in the wall it’s not the end of the world 😅
I’ve superglued something to plexi-glass and I’m trying to find a good way to remove it as the mechanism I was trying to use isn’t gonna work properly so I want to swap it out for a new one my project is 95% done at this point and all put together so I’m trying to save it as if something goes awfully wrong it would really be a shame at this stage… I used isopropyl alcohol on a plexiglass piece and it caused cracks to appear and compromised the piece and I had to start over, it also removes silicone aswell which id like to avoid but that’s not a deal breaker for me as that may be hard to avoid with these sorts of products, I’ll just be extra careful to avoid getting any near the silicone when applying if that’s the case…. I’m not sure that wd40 will do the trick.. any ideas?
Looks great... Can I use it on G-10 handle of my knife to remove superglue?
How can I remove residual glue from kitchen units after removing vinyl wrap.
Thank You so much for the great video!
Anything sticky wd40 works on to kill the sticky! Chewing gum, glue, gripfill adhesive everything, use the wd40 and then wash it with fairy liquid 😎👍
Agreed!! I will always have a few cans in the shed, just in case of emergency lol! Thank you mate! :)
Can I use it to remove nail glue on an oak wood desk?
Perhaps a pull style paint scraper might serve a bit better?
Just speculating :)
I like that! I'm also curious how much the belt is defaced, if any, when he does the scrape. Couldn't see an end to end comparison at the end there.
Nice! Good tip
Thank you mate! :)
didn't work for me for 1-2 years old loctite super bond i have on some sunglasses. i've tried this, acetate, acetate free nail polish remover, amway l.o.c. (we didn't buy into the pyramid scheme but still have this bottle for some reason), denatured alcohol, powerfix profi glue remover. nothing does it. i suppose nitric acid would but would also dissolve the sunglasses
What is the point of using wd40 if you still have to use something abrasive to take off the glue ? Shouldn't the wd soften the glue to where you can use a cloth to remove it ?
The formula 40 has a combination of solvents so best to test on inconspicuous place first if the surface is valued etc a fridge !
Is the kid getting compensated for his contributions to this channel? If not, then he needs his own channel. ;)
I find soaking sticky labels in IPA works quite well also.
Indian pale ale?
What does IPA stand for ?

What about on a window 🪟 sill? It’s a white window sill dunno the material but it’s not wood some kind of hard plastic. How should I take it off help please
wd40 is a must have on hand for every household.
just sont use it as lubricant like it advertises on the can
WD-40 works even better on stickers; .
Paper-based stickers: spray generously and let soak through. Usually glides right off
Synthetic stickers: use a heat gun to soften the glue and peel the sticker. Most of the glue normally remains, that's where DW-40 shines; you can get the glue off any plastic I've tried and not damage the surface.
i've heard that WD40 "shouldn't be used" on things containing rubber. So i wonder if it's subtley dissolving the top layer of rubber which allows teh superglue to come loose. Not a problem (i'd use the technique myself now i know about it), i'm just pondering what's going on here.
The wd can swell the rubber is why they mentioned that. In a lot of cases this isn’t a problem. I’ve even used on blaster to purposely swell o rings and it works great.
Ultimately petroleum will break down rubber but with the case of wd it seems like it’s not that aggressive
Thanks 😊
Thank you!! :)
Does WD 40 remove Epoxy glue from ceramic glue pottery
WONDERFUL. NOW CAN YOU REGLUE THE BELT AGAIN ? DO YOU NEED TO CLEAN THE WD40 OFF THE BELT AND THE OTHER AREAS ?
Once I cleaned the glue off, I would use either an IPA wipe or a little bit of acetone. This worked well and the belts bond really nicely. :)
@@MyNameIsLukey THANK YOU
Think it will get gorilla glue out of hair?
LOL!! I don't know, when I run out of hairspray I will let you know hahaha.
did it?
I tried it and it failed
would this work if the belt was glued to something else or if you have 2 surface glued together?
That’s my question.
didn't work so well for me on work surfaces - acetate nail varnish remover was gud tho'
With all due respect YES THE WD HELPED alot really BUT it didn't remove one little speck of glue....it did however put oils into the belt keeping you from testing it to shreds the glue coming off was all you...that's why you had to re apply because the oils has went into the small pores of the belt....that said I have always recommended doing this to get well pretty much anything off something rubbery (no the belt isn't full rubber I know that lol) because it aids in protecting the item you are trying to clean....try it on a hard surface and it would be pointless well may aid in helping you cut off your finger cause you will become grease lightning....cheers...I don't reply back to comments nor look just a heads up to all lol

Never touched the superglue! No change at all.

How to get off superglue off car carpet
Nice one 👍
I removed my kids' stickers off an internal door. It leaves a shiny finish, so be careful.
But you will never get a good bond again with the oil soaked into the rubber, I bet.
Once I cleaned the glue off, gave it a wipe down with an IPA wipe, It bonded again really nicely. That's how I made the super large gears in the bamboo trike vid, and they're still bonded really nicely now. Thanks mate! :)
Life saver! Just got super glue off of a guitar rosewood fretboard 👍
Good old WD-40 has so many uses. Wipe on your old car windscreen wipers to make them like new (as long as they don't have cuts and breaks)
Didn't work 🤷♂️
Try removing the glue from plastic, and not damage the finish under the glue.
Acetone dissolves super glue.
If so just sand it
