How can you dissolve super glue that someone used to try fix a pair of glasses when the screw came out?

To dissolve super glue, you can use acetone or nail polish remover containing acetone. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Prepare the Materials:

- Acetone or nail polish remover containing acetone

- Cotton swabs

- Tweezers or a small pry tool

- Safety glasses (to protect your eyes from the acetone)

2. Protect the Surface:

Place the glasses on a protected surface, such as a folded towel, to prevent any damage.

3. Apply Acetone:

Dip a cotton swab into acetone and carefully apply it to the areas where the super glue is visible. Be precise in your application to avoid damaging the lenses or frame.

4. Let it Sit:

Allow the acetone to sit for a few minutes. This will help loosen the super glue.

5. Scrape Gently:

After a few minutes, gently scrape away the super glue using tweezers or a small pry tool. Use caution not to scratch the glasses.

6. Repeat as Needed:

If the super glue is stubborn, you may need to repeat this process a few times.

7. Clean:

Once you've successfully dissolved the super glue, thoroughly clean the glasses with water and a microfiber cloth to remove any residual acetone.

8. Reassemble:

If you removed any parts, reassemble the glasses according to the model.

9. Future Repairs:

To avoid needing to use super glue in the future, consider taking your glasses to a professional for repairs if screws come loose.

Always remember to prioritize your safety when working with acetone. Ensure good ventilation and wear gloves if you plan to use any acetone on your skin.
