superglue on monitor

Assuming it's not a glass surface: You could try scraping most of it off gently with a fresh sharp razorblade, then applying minimum amounts of heat at a time to dissolve the cyanoacrylate. Might (read:should) protect the surrounding area with things like tape and cardboard (or something equal) before you start applying heat.

If it's an older monitor with a matte screen, use this as an excuse to buy a new one

Most superglues are solvent and melts and bonds with the plastic in contact, so unless it is a specifically solvent free glue, your screen is kill. At least you won't remove it without taking a bit of its skin off.

Superglue remover is what you want mate. 3 bucks on amazon.

But be careful if your screen is plastic as I think it's a solvent.

You're thinking of something else

>Superglue remover
That's mainly acetone and plain acetone works too.

>>1054482
I'm honestly surprised it even stuck. You sure you can't just chip it off with a fingernail? Modern superglue is absolutely worthless shit since they changed the formulas to make it more "safe" for the retards that kept gluing their hands to their face.

Otherwise solvent and a cotton swab. Just make it moist, don't get it sopping wet and don't let it sit. The glue will either break up before you do damage to the coating on the screen or it won't.

I tried scraping it but it seemed firmly in place. Will try using a solvent later

Acetone will dissolve the super glue. And it wont harm the glass on your CRT at all.

Protect surrounding area with masking tape. Apply acetone or nail polish remover with a q-tip and rub gently. Maybe test the procedure on a similar part or flat surface.

Acetone, superglue remover is you want is a solvent.

Solvents and plastics don't mix.

It will ruin your monitor.

Sorry. Spelling error. It is NOT what you want.

>>1056583
What else would you use? seems to me the only thing to do is to carefully apply a small amount

>>1054482
nail varnish remover will do. if you know any women they will have some

>>1054482
"Superglue" my ass. Perhaps you should sit further back from your desk when you fap, OP.

What is acetone

Reality: You're probably fucked. On the off chance your screen is glass(most arnt now a days.) it'll still have coatings and other BS on the surface that will get disolved by anything that is half powerful enough to strip off crazy glue.

Best option is to take a razor blade, like >>1054483 said.

Eh, gorilla glue is damn near impossible to remove from ANYTHING. I got a drop on the edge of my phone(glued the screen to the frame since it kept lifting off) and the website said the only thing to do was scrape it off with a razor. No point in using acetone or nail polish remover since its essentially more resilient than anything you put it on, short of mirror-smooth metals or glass.

Easy way to get it off, get some bleach and mix it with ammonia. Just apply that to the screen and it will come right off without damaging the screen.

>implying matte screens are inferior and/or outdated

matte screens actually cost more to make and many people (myself included) prefer not having a massive glare when a lights anywhere behind you

Anyway, onto the topic, ITfag reporting in


most (all?) non CRT monitors (aka not giant old tv looking ones) have multiple layers that make up the screen. if you disassemble it the top layer the glue has stuck to will come right off like a thin sheet of clear plastic. go on ebay and im sure you can find a replacement that will fit (do your own google research to learn what this screen is called, i do not remember the names)

ive never replaced one, but ive dissembled plenty of monitors before out of curiosity and for things like inverter boards etc, you will first take apart the housing of the monitor to get to the screen, then actually disassemble the screen and youll break it down into the layers.

HOPEFULLY the glue only affected the top layer as I believe it's nothing but a protective sheet, if it did any chemical burning or anything to the lower layers, youre probably fucked.

also I'm fairly confident Acetone will melt your screen.

use a non polar solvent like toluene or hexane
