Hi all
Had a job today, cleaned carpets and came up fine except for a great dollup of superglue the size of my fist! Can anything get this off?
Cheers

fellas, had the same problem about a month ago, it was on a nylon carpet, in some areas it had melted it, tried very carefully cutting it out, took ages, tried glue freezer- no good, gel spot- no good, & a few other products, i even carefully shaved it were it left a sheen. the whole job took about 1 1/2hrs made abit of an impact, but i could'nt get it all out, it was across a ft squ. i do believe that same hardware stores do sell a product designed to deal with superglue, but i'd test it first on a like for like 1st. freshi

Well i told her before starting that it probably wouldnt be removed but she didnt think it would as well. Shame as the job was good apart from that really

every ones a winner then sky & it was pre-qualified so all parties knew were they stood, can be a bit demoralizing though when you can't get everything out but, nothings a 100%.

Hi Guys
These types of product are chemically reactive when applied , so that they cross link to form irreversible chemical bonds.
They are therefore designed to be both chemically and heat resistant so you will not remove them with solvents, HWE etc
Other similar products are epoxies like araldite, polyesters such as those used in fibreglass and acrylics like superglue used in modelling.
