acetone, or nailpolish remover w/ acetone. Hot water will also cause the CA to flake off after some time.

PS latex rubber gloves work wonders.

time.....

I find, that with repeated washes, and a few days between building, that CA generally flakes off, and can be picked at while waiting for teh IRS, the doc's report, the cat to come home, etc.....

If you've got too much CA on your figures,you're either: building way too much (never happens though![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] )
of have teh top off, and are using way to much!

If you get it off all at once you're missing half the fun. While being bored with the boob tube I sit an pick at the dried CA. It's almost as good as rubbing a scab. Actually if you have some place to go and have to shake hands a lot you can use debonder and get the largest part off. Finish with some full strength acetone. If anyone complains about the odor just say it's your lady friend's nail polish remover. In our club dried CA on the hands is considered a mark of honor for a real builder.
