Step-By-Step Instructions for Removing Gorilla Glue Skin / Nails

We strongly recommend wearing gloves while working on any project using Original Gorilla Glue. If you do get Gorilla Glue on your fingers or nails please follow these steps:

  1. If a drop or two spilled on your fingers or nails, wash the area with soapy water as quickly as possible to remove as much wet glue as possible.
  2. If that doesn't work, try washing with a gritty soap and warm water, or using an exfoliator with a gritty texture.
  3. Dry your hands and apply lotion to moisturize your skin.
  4. Cured glue on fingers may stain skin temporarily and it may take several days to wear off. It is important to keep hands moist using moisturizers until the glue is fully removed.
Note

We do not recommend using any kind of alcohol, acetone, or other solvent.
