Apply the acetone to a paper towel and dab it over the bonded surfaces. Acetone is the primary substance that will remove Krazy Glue. Find acetone in a hardware store or use nail polish remover, as it contains acetone.
Allow the acetone to sit for 15 to 30 minutes or until the glue has softened.
Remove the softened glue with a dry towel.
Soak your fingers in acetone or nail polish remover to remove Krazy Glue if your fingers get stuck together. Rinse your fingers with water thoroughly.

Tips

If your fingers are stuck but you do not have any acetone available, soak the area with warm soapy water. Slowly roll or peel the skin away, but do not pull apart. Rolling the skin will slowly break down the bonds of the Krazy Glue, and you will be able to separate your fingers.

If you've used Krazy Glue on plastic glasses lens and need to remove it, try a solvent other than acetone, as it can damage some plastic. Try nitromethane instead, which you can find in hobby stores. Look for items labeled "de-bonders" that contain nitromethane.
