How do you remove adhesive?

I use a product called "Goo-Gone". It's an oily orange substance that smells of petroleum. (I'm in the United States.) I've found that very non-polar solvents like oils (Goo-Gone, gasoline, mineral or vegetable oil) dissolve most adhesives, but there's always stuff like superglue that dissolves in acetone...

Orange oil, Goo-gone, or turpentine, those are my recommendations :-)

How do you save your wood floors that have linoleum glue on them?

It depends on several factors not listed. Im going to assume you have wood floors with vinyl that was installed over the top of the wood? And im going to assume that you removed the vinyl and found wood floors but have vinyl glue spread all over.

Ok.. here are my thoughts and possible solutions.

First off is this is going to take alot of work most likely. So be prepared.

2nd, there are several factors you need to know. Is the wood a solid hardwood floor? Or is it an engineered wood floor. That is is the wood built like plywood.

If its a solid wood floor, i would try using a sponge to damping the glue residue with hot water. Remember all wood floors are extremely sensitive to moisture. And possible water damage may occur. However most vinyl glues are water based and can be released with hot water. I would use a stiff bristle plastic scrub brush.

If this doesnt work, you will need to sand and refinish the wood floors. which would make them look brand new again.

If you have an engineered floor, the scrubbing may work, however not all engineered floors can be sanded as the top ply of wood can be less than 1/8th thick and a sander could sand too much and destroy the wood.

Remember that if you try the water that you want the glue damp, not wet. you do not want the wood to soak up water.

How do you get gorilla glue off of your hands?

There's a product called "Goo Gone" and you find it at craft stores. It works. You can also try Nail Polish Remover or Acetone or hairspray.

I just tried it................

Aug 11, 2009

I got it all over my hands. I tried Goo Gone, dish soap, mineral spirits, nail polish remover and vegetable oil. None of these worked. I thought something abrasive may help (but not cleanser!) so I tried good old fashioned baking soda. It worked! I had to wash my hands with baking soda 4 times, but it FINALLY came off. Then I threw the Gorilla Glue in the trash.

May 3, 2011

I used Bon Ami Polishing Cleanser bought at a grocery store-- the same stuff I use to get black marks off pots and pans. I put on dry hands and rubbed them together for about 5min., then rinsed off with water and a scrubby sponge. I repeated this three times..Gorilla Gone!

I promise you to use baking soda. It really works. My dad is doing it right beside me. :)

What does nail glue do to your lip?

DONT CLOSE YOUR LIPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bonds it together but if you were lucky enough to not shut your lips together, then it forms a dry and rough patch on your lip(s)... Did I forget to mention that sometimes irritation occurs..? Dear oh dear, same thing here! Here's how to get it off... 1) Try and keep your lips as wet and moist as possible, this stops the glue from drying out so when it's wet enough, you can just wipe it off... WHATEVER YOU DO!! DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT PUT NAIL VARNISH REMOVER OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THAT ON YOUR GLUED LIPS, NO! NO! NO!!!!! Good luck! x it also makes it look real chapped and taste bad
