Did the most hideous thing ever...
Treated myself to a lovely pair of versace sunglasses... minded them like solid gold for a few years...one day noticed the interior plastic part of the case was coming away so i superglued it...held it for a few seconds...was all looking beautiful.
Few mins later put the glasses back in the case..
Result: next time i go to use the glasses i discover they're covered in superglue. Lenses, frames, everything.
DISASTER!!!!!
Have kept them in a drawer at home ever since in the hopes that i might find a way to get the glue off....
didnt want to try anything in case i scrathed the lenses...

Any ideas????
Totally gutted :(

Hi Arctic, I know there is a remover for superglue, you might be able to get it in Woodies or any hardware store. It's liquid as far as I remember so shouldn't scratch glasses. You could then leave them into any opticians and they might be able to fix for you. Hope this helps.

Hi

I just googled removing superglue and see that nail polish remover is recommended. You could try a little on a cotton bud and see how you get on.
Hope this helps!

Nail varnish remover works, but only if it contains acetone. Acetone has been removed from many products, but MAY be available from your pharmacy. good luck.
