I have 2 good knives that I have gotten lumps, & smears of super glue on while cutting off the tips on the glue bottles. One blade is a black finish, the other is plain metal. What should I use to get the glue off the blade?
Thanks for any serious help.  to any silly comments.

Nail Polish remover is "supposed" to take it off - at least that's what the wife says.

Soak in either acetone or methylene chloride for twenty four hours. This might not actually dissolve away completely the cross-linked polymer, but it should soften it enough to make possible the removal of the glue.

Berryman's b-12 carbuerator cleaner, don't get it on the handles because if they're glued-on they will fall off.

Grinder sander sand blaster files.
Any one of them will remove any trace of the glue. Glad you added the silly answers category. [}:)] [}:)] [}:)] Actually I'm glad you asked. I have some super glue on a ff tube that I've been trying to remove. |

Don't let the acetone touch and plastic, or it will begin to melt.
I have an old Swiss Army knife with my thumbprint permanently embedded in it due to acetone. Cool! |

I agree with trying to chip it off. What ever you do report back to us if it stained or made and changes in the black blade. I have never owned a knife with that type blade and have always wondered how durable the finish is.
