Hi,
working on a bear and got a tiny smear of glue on her glass eye. Grrrrrrrrrrr
Acetone or goof off or what is best to remove the smear?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Nail polish remover works great.

Hey Tami,

I asked a similar question once...I called them eye boogers...I found the link with some recommendaitions.   I think they start at about post #11.

I use nail polish remover, then use the tip of a large doll needle to scrape off residue.  Have never scratched an eye this way, but I wouldn't recommend this for anything but GLASS.

Nail polish remover and a toothpick for scraping glue!

Kim I LOVE your new avatar bear 

I'm so glad other people have troubles with Superglue....now I know what to do when/if I get bold enough to make my eyelids!

I think the nail polish must have acetone in it though, it may not work otherwise.
