Removing super glue from granite can be tricky because strong solvents can damage the stone's surface. Here are some gentle and natural methods you can try:
Acetone: While acetone is a solvent, it is relatively safe for granite if used sparingly and quickly. Dampen a soft cloth with acetone and gently dab the affected area. Avoid rubbing the glue, as it may spread. Wipe off the excess glue as it softens. Rinse the area with water and pat dry.
Soap and warm water: Create a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water. Soak a cloth or sponge in the soapy solution and gently scrub the super glue. Rinse the area with clean water afterward.
Olive oil or vegetable oil: Apply a small amount of olive oil or vegetable oil to the glue and let it sit for a few minutes. The oil may weaken the bond of the glue. Afterward, gently scrape off the glue using a plastic scraper or credit card.
Baking soda paste: Make a paste by mixing baking soda with water. Apply the paste to the super glue and let it sit for some time. Then, using a soft cloth or sponge, gently scrub the glue. The baking soda paste can act as a mild abrasive without damaging the granite.
Rubbing alcohol: Dampen a cloth with rubbing alcohol and gently dab the super glue. Like acetone, rubbing alcohol can soften the glue, making it easier to remove.
It's important to use these methods gently and avoid excessive scraping or scrubbing to prevent any damage to the granite surface. Always test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of the granite first to ensure it doesn't cause any discoloration or damage.
If the super glue is deeply embedded or resistant to these methods, it might be best to seek professional help from a stone restoration expert who can safely remove the glue without harming the granite.
