Working with superglue can be tricky, especially if it gets all over your fingers, hardens, and becomes too difficult to remove

The last thing you should do is to pull your fingers apart once the glue has hardened. This could potentially cause ripping of your skin and unnecessary pain.
Fortunately, a recent viral Twitter video has demonstrated one method of removing the glue.
All you need is salt and a little bit of water.
The video, which was posted by Twitter user @brotherjambang, has since received over 24,600 retweets and 17,200 likes.
It begins with someone putting superglue on his fingers and sticking them together.

According to wikiHow, you can also try adding olive oil or any other cooking oil into the salt paste.
Alternatively, you could use acetone to dissolve the glue. However, avoid using too much acetone as this could be harsh on your skin.
