Solving the Super Glue Problem

🎶 Do do do do do

Solvent will dissolve do do do do 

It's all right.

Solvent will dissolve super glue.

Non-acetone nailpolish remover will dissolve super glue.

This is something that our 10 year old wanted you to know about - with a catchy tune.

We had a discussion about different solvents that work on different materials. We talked about dissolving sugar in water, and nail polish comes off with nail polish remover. Then we discussed how nail polish remover also works with super glue, and we repaired a mug using super glue. At one point she needed to remove super glue from a spot on the mug, and the nail polish remover worked well.

Here's a closer picture of the super glue and nail polish remover.

She asked why I was letting her touch super glue when it says to keep away from children! I explained that I'm supervising - and we know how to undo super glue. 

Helping Others

Little sister broke her favorite shovel. She was sad. Here is a picture of the broken shovel.

Big sis plus super glue to the rescue!

A little time to dry, and it's ready for her to enjoy.
