Re: horns

Avoid super glue, it is toxic to the skin. And it's dangerous also if you want to remove them.

why would it be dangerous to remove them if you use super glue ?
as far as being toxic I'v heard it is not and doctors use super glue to close wounds

Near as I recall superglue was developed for quick fusion of wounds on the battlefield. As such its not really toxic to the skin from what I recall from first aid courses I had to take.

Re: horns

Last time I bought superglue here in France it had a notice that it was made to fuse together materials such as wood, plastic, etc, and that it was highly corrosive/acidic and could cause skin rashes and the risk of skin tearing if something got glued to the skin with it (and then you tried to tear of the object).

Re: horns

There was something sold for a while called liquid bandage,I did see it used once by a doctor. No idea if that was super glue or not. Have not heard of it in a while,so wonder if there were reasons it got pulled. I searched,and it seems it is still marketed.



Wondered what was in it,
So Here

Wiki,so standard grain of salt.

you might have different super glue there as here in the U.S.A. it does not say
anything about being highly corrosive/acidic but it does warn you about
tearing if something got glued to the skin and you tried tearing it off.
but if something does get stuck to skin usually after a few hours the stuff
loosens up on it's own from the oils in your skin.
if I glue horns on with super glue in the morning by the time I am ready to call it
a night they are coming loose

Re: horns

Might use a solvent like finger polish remover for super glue.

From super glue itself.

Because Super Glue is so strong and bonds so fast, some people may find that they have accidentally glued two fingers together, or found that that small piece of balsa wood or plastic from a model they were building has completely bonded to their skin! Not to worry, for even though Super Glue is incredibly strong, it has one weakness: acetone.

yes acetone will remove super glue but so will time.
