Don't worry. Just soak acetone or ordinary nail polish remover containing acetone on the bonded area. The bond will break but be sure to rinse the area thoroughly after de-bonding. If you don't have acetone handy, have a little patience! Soak the bonded area in warm, soapy water. Carefully peel or roll the skin apart gently and slowly. DO NOT PULL APART, Instant Krazy Glue® creates a VERY strong bond that's nearly impossible to break by pulling straight up and down. If you gently roll the skin, you will gradually diminish the bonds between the Instant Krazy Glue® molecules themselves and be able to get your fingers apart.

The traditional white glue you used in elementary school works by filling in the microscopic pores on surfaces and forming a latex bond.

The chemical name for Instant Krazy Glue® is ethyl cyanoacrylate - a non-toxic, colorless, extremely fast-acting, strong adhesive. In its pure form, it can lift 2000 pounds per square inch.

Instant Krazy Glue® requires a "trigger" to activate its adhesive properties. Fortunately, that catalyst is common water, naturally present on almost any surface on earth. That is why it is important to always keep the glue container sealed tightly when it is not being used.

Cyanoacrylate proved valuable to military surgeons during the Vietnam War.

Under battlefield conditions, they could use the material to close wounds and stop bleeding. Today, specific formulations of cyanoacrylate have been developed for medical use.

Instant Krazy Glue® products should not be used for wound care.

Instant Krazy Glue® bonds with the surface of a part on a molecular level. If the surface has dirt, grease, or oil on it the bond will be formed with them instead of with the part itself. Therefore pieces to be glued should be clean and dry before applying Instant Krazy Glue® .

Dampen porous ceramics on one side and apply Instant Krazy Glue® to the dry side only. Wood surfaces should be sanded or planed flat with paint, varnish or glue residue removed.

You can probably use less than you think. A single drop of Instant Krazy Glue® has been tested to hold up to 2000 pounds without pulling apart!

Too much glue or spreading glue will make a poor bond or no bond.

Instant Krazy Glue® will form a tight bond in about 10 to 30 seconds so you can usually just hold pieces in place until the bond sets in about two minutes.

Allow the full strength bond to form overnight but since Instant Krazy Glue® doesn’t expand as it cures, there’s usually no need to clamp your bond.

Water vapor is the catalyst that activates the Instant Krazy Glue® bond. Since moisture is present in the air at all times, an open tube of Instant Krazy Glue® will "cure" very quickly. To prolong the useful life of your tube, always replace the cap immediately. You may also consider Single-Use Packages containing 0.5 grams of Instant Krazy Glue® so you can use each tube once and throw it away.

There are a few things Instant Krazy Glue® is not intended for use on such as paper, foam, rear view mirrors, polyethylene, Teflon® or other fluorocarbons.

Instant Krazy Glue® can be removed with acetone.  Acetone is the key ingredient in most nail polish removers. You can also find acetone at your local hardware or paint store.  Apply the solvent to a paper towel and place it on the stain until the glue has softened.  The softened glue can then be removed with a clean dry towel.  Always test the solvent on an inconspicuous area first to check for discoloration or compatibility issues.

Instant Krazy Glue® can be removed with acetone.  However, acetone is a pretty powerful solvent and can damage some types of plastic.  A safer solvent is nitromethane that can usually be found at specialty hobby stores. Look for products called "de-bonders" containing the nitromethane component.  Always be sure to test whatever solvent you choose on an inconspicuous area first to check for compatibility issues.
