How to get SuperGlue off of my LCD? sigh... fumbduck

[fumbduck]

The other day i was horsin around with a tube of superglue, and couldnt get it to open, finally i did, and some squirted on my monitor, but i had no idea it did this till some time later.

Is there any way to get it off?


also: any posts relating to my name are totally appropriate.

No idea, but you have proven your name to be highly appropriate.

More superglue?

definitely use an alcohol-based glass cleaner and ignore your owner's manual.

It is on the glass, or the bezel?

Glass: Razor blade / Exacto knife
Plastic: You'r screwed. Just leave it there... or you will just make it worse.

So you got your tube of lube mixed up with your tube of superglue huh

Do NOT use a razor on the glass, you'll scrape right through the anti-glare coating.

Then again, super glue solvent (acetone, I think...) might destroy it too.

I would call the monitor manufacturer & see what's safe to use on the anti-glare coating.

Try PMing GOSHARKSS, he designs monitors - He'll probably know what's safe & what's not.

Yeah I was just gonna suggest a razor blade, assuming it's on the glass.

CA (Cyanoacrylate Adhesives) aka "Super Glue" usually have a debonding chemical to remove glue after it has cured. I know that it does seperate 2 stuck objects, but I'm not sure if it would completly remove all traces of the glue. Maybe soak it with the debonder and use some king of cleaning alchol to remove what's left?

I'm going to say I'm 99% sure I wouldn't be worried about screwing up the anti-glare coating becuase the glue probably ate through it already.

Acetone will do it. It melts plastic and glare coatings like a ice cube up a camel's @ss though.

it is an LCD monitor, the glue on it isnt that bad, i can see right through it, but it acts like a spectrum, i see more colors than I am supposed to.

Are you sure you're not talking about LSD instead of LCD?

Seriously, most of those screens are replacable. If nothing gets it off, see what it would cost to replace the antiglare screen in front of the LCD itself.

Wanna sell the LCD to me I could use it in my home theatre setup..

You can try Goo Gone or De-Solv it from K-Mart. It says it takes off Super Glue and it is not harmful to most surfaces. I don't know about an LCD screen though. I think almost any type of chemical is sure to take off the clear anti glare coating.

 

[fumbduck]

anything that wont get rid of the antiglare coating?

damn me and my dumbfvckness

 

[fumbduck]

help.

 

[psianime]

Try calling the manufacturer and ask them how much does it cost to repair your LCD.
