Removing superglue

[PhilosopherKing]

O.P., Howdy;

Typically Acetone is what removes Superglue. You can also use your girlfriend's
fingernail polish remover. Actually the same stuff just smells better. Yes, if cue
has a cynoacrylate finish (superglue), then it to will suffer.

Thanks, Already sent the cue to Mr. Webb.

One strike and I’m out.

Acetone (even diluted forms like nail polish remover) will typically make most finishes look foggy. May also mess up some plastics.

Tread lightly, and remember that you can always try again, so start with a tiny dab and focus on working just the spot you need to.

I like (the good, expensive brand) paper towels when I need to use acetone, with a clean second towel handy to immediately dry the cue. Ideally you get it off, and then use a polishing compound to bring the finish luster back.

When this doesn't work, refinishing a buttsleeve and buttcap will cost money, call it a teachable moment

ideologist, Howdy;

My only attempts have been with getting 'other things' un-stuck. You are correct about the foggy and one needs to be
very careful with using any chemicals to deal with other chemicals. Some go pssst, while others will deafen you with their
thunder. First I'd hears about it was back in early 80's or late 70's. a hot shot lawyer in Norfolk, Va. wife caught him out
catin' around and the next time he wanted to get cozy she got him worked up then Superglued his third leg to the thigh
of one of the other 2. He had to go to the Hospital to get things back in order. They used Finger nail polish remover.
