Dissolving CA glue.

I made mess with a bottle of CA that spilled.  Acetone & xylene don't do anything.  I made some progress with 25 nitro fuel, but don't want the oil residue either. 

What (if anything) is the official solvent for CA? 

I have learned that over time fuel weakens CA, but I'm not that patient in this case.

  Straight nitromethane, or CA remover from the hobby shop. Either takes a while to work on any sort of puddle, you sort of wear it away from the outside a layer at a time. Still, with patience, it works - I got it on a cloth couch in a couple of big, thick, lumps, and it was really no problem and it eventually went away completely.

I got nowhere with both acetone & xylene.  I'll take a look at "debonder' at The Prop Shop today.  I expect that it will work, but at a very high price.  Maybe it's just pure nitro.

MEK works fine.  I know, I know, environmentally a bad idea but it works.

I tried both MEK and xylene without success.  I was trying to save a spool of lines that got CA spilled on it.  I just managed to dissolve the plastic spool.

It was something of an expensive waste of time, but I have good supply of strong solvents for future use, like paint brush cleaning and thinning epoxy.

   Was there some reason that you didn't use CA remover intended for that purposes?

     You never mentioned what you spilled it on. If it was a spool of lines, just soak it in water, or antifreeze. Maybe even crock pot it. CA is not water proof over the long haul. If it was spilled in a blob on a work bench or something, take a length or maple motor mount stock and a small hammer and chip it off like a chisel. Or a hard piece of plastic. I will usually pop off in pieces and may take some of the surface with it, I had read in safety bulletins about kids swallowing some and it started to clog up their throat, but by the time they got the kid to the emergency room, his saliva had started to dissolve it already. So you could probably just spit on it a lot!

NOT to dis any one who spills or need help...BUT way back first time I got a bottle of Hot Stuff and it immediately heated up and bound my body parts to inanimate objects I developed strict protocols to prevent further loss of digits, limbs, or jeans to leg skin.....

Three quick and large Thin Zapp Hot stuff drops...missing the part and landing on your crotch   near important parts ---will get your attention real fast

I personally NOW wear a work Bib/Apron my wife made out of my old blue jeans

FWIIW No de-bounder ever freed my stuck fingers....BUT peanut butter did work to get some oil into or under the hardened glue and give me an area to peel back....slowly
