Does the standard acetone trick work or am I left with crusty spots on my jeans from now until eternity?

I've come to the conclusion the best way to use it is to make a little "rack" or support structure that you can hold the peg/whatever to the frag (assuming you don't just attach directly to the rock), because while it does setup in 30 seconds or so, that's like that minute you "need" to wait after using conditioner in the shower! I glued my finger to my leg to the frag holder! And the act of ripping my finger away pulled the frag away as well.. it seems it bonds much quicker to flesh than it does to frags :)

Speaking of which - I managed to get a bit of it smeared to the front of my tank - thank goodness it was glass tank - scraped it off with a razor blade.

Back to the subject...

Unless you smeared it in real good you may be able to defuzz it by trying to scrape it off with a paring knife - razor blade might work but one slip and you would be wearing fashionable jeans.
