superglue Remove SuperGlue from Ultrawide

[BlurLeighton]

Someone please save me. I got a droplet of Starbond brand Cyanoacrylate on my 34 inch ultrawide (Acer xr342ck).

 

Any chemist (or other "expert") here know how to get it off?

 

I'm scared that anything I'll try would just make it worse.

The only thing that will remove cyanoacrylate is acetone. The only problem with acetone is it may remove any antiglare coating on the monitor.

 

I have removed cyanoacrylate spatter from a Asus monitor by putting some acetone on a Q-Tip and gently rubbing the surface where the drop was until the drop was gone. I got lucky and there was no damge to the coating. I can't guarantee you will get the same results.

Thank you so much. I don't need a guarantee, that is enough.

 

You've seconded my research, and given me evidence that it can work. I'll do best and hope it works.

 

The Q-tip and some masking material should be enough I hope. Do you think that starting with it diluted would make sense?

I didn't bother with masking the area. The Q-Tip will keep the acetone from running. Just don't use so much on the Q-Tip it is dripping all over. Just wet the cotton with the acetone and shake off ny excess.

 

I didn't dilute my acetone. I doubt diluting would be of benefit and probably would result in the acetone not working.

I'll be less of a scaredy cat with this one. Thx.
