Well, finally got started. Pedro Kantor is fully assembled, and my first tactical squad has bases, legs, and torsos. I'm thinking I may need more glue. And I hate flags, I don't use them, they bother me.

One question, dakka. How do I get superglue off my fingers?

Peel.

Peeling can get rid of most of it. Just be careful if you have cuts as you can accidentally start ripping your skin off without realising it

Alternatively, you can get cleaning solutions which will get rid of it for you.

i just let it dry all the way then peel but it doesn't peel well off the nails, fast orange and the rough side of a sponge can help disolve that though

Nail Polish remover works great.

If your wife/girlfriend doesn't mind of course. Mine frowned at me when I came back with most of it gone after a day of butterfingers working on models.

Take a shower, bath, soak you hands, go to the pool or work up a sweat involving your hands and it will come right off.

Melt it off by sticking your hands in very hot water, almost boiling.

Some hobby centers sell a SG remover. I got mine at hobby lobby and it works rather well. If none of the suggestions made here work for you then time will get rid of it also.

I just ignore it. It comes off on it's own without working it and unless you covered your finger completely and need to have your finger prints why bother?

If its bad, rubbing alcohol can make it brittle and crumble off.


And this is not a 40k discussion...

Wash your hands, you dirty Warham.

Nail polish remover. Available in acetone and non-acetone versions (you really should moisturise after using the acetone one, as it does suck the moisture from your skin). Otherwise, hot soapy water and sweat both weaken the bond strength and allow it to flake off.

"superglue debonder" is just the same stuff at a higher price.
