Cyanoacrylate - How can I remove this most effectively from tiles?

[Alexander1312]

The subject is basically my question. Since I am stuck at level 1 of my coral game for the past 1.5 years, I messed up the floor this weekend with quite a bit of coral glue on the tiles. How would I best be able to remove this? @JustinBolton - I feel you might be even the expert in this?

I’d use cyanoacrylate debonder to soften it and then a firm edge like old credit card or razor to scrape it off. Have to be careful not to scratch the tile.

Thank you John. Did know this exists. Will try this.

Edit: sorry, @JVU meant to say did NOT know about this.

The debonder is dmf, pretty nasty, acetone (nail polish remover) should work also but need a bit more time. Dmf boiling point is 153c so it persists while acetone is 77c and evaporates much more rapidly.

Thanks, Justin. So would you recommend acetone then? I assume nasty means unhealthy in a way?

I would try acetone, cyano acrylate is a thermoplastic (not set) so it will come up eventually. If the acetone doesn’t solvate it then dmf will most likely.

holy shit, that's awesome. I didn't know that existed. That'll fix a bunch of pants I've screwed up!
