About Gary
Expertise
I have extensive experience in tilework. I`ve installed ceramic, marble, slate, etc. in both new and existing homes. I love working with tile and would love to share my knowledge, whether it`s new installations or repairs to existing. I can answer questions on cost estimates, tools to use, tips and tricks.

Experience

Past/Present clients
My work until now has been for my own homes and for my father's construction company homes. I'm just starting to tile as a business, rather than a hobby.

Cabinets, Furniture, Woodworks - instant glue spilled on formica countertop


Expert: Gary - 10/11/2004

Question
Hi Gary,
Sure hope your the man for me on fixing this problem. I accidently spilled a small amount of super glue on my kitchen counter. Is there any way to remove it? Along the same line, there's also a bit of wood stain on the counter too. Hoping you have some suggestions for me. Many thanks, Sue

Answer
Hi Sue,
You didn't say what kind of countertop you have.  I'll assume it's Formica since that's the most common.

Use acetone.  You can find it at most hardware or paint stores.  First try it on a small spot that doesn't show...under the toaster or something.  Acetone is very powerful, but it'll remove the glue and the wood stain.  Make sure there are no flames or sparks around and open the windows.  It's highly flammable.

Gary
