How to safely remove super glue from my phone

[NoobCannon]

No one suggested napalm yeT?

 

[DampDog]

Queen Wasp venom?

Though at this time of year they will still be tucked up in their lair planning their best way to exterminate mankind.

Other than that, WD40 is worth a shot as it cheap and a reasonable solvent.

How drunk were you?

I've scraped some of the glue off and the home button is working
as well as before.
Think I might apply a thick layer of glue now and paint it black
so that the button is raised up again.

Will be easier to clean if you break it up.

 

[Akagi]

Are you still drunk?

Nail polish remover.....

Any else is hogwash.

Seriously? Glue?

For the future a tiny dab of bathroom silicone sealant will hold most things as well as glue but peels off without leaving damage. Even so it's not worth the risk on a phone????

Wouldn't a new screen protector have been a better method of solving this problem?

New phone would be the easiest, especially if it comes with a new screen protector.

If you need to raise the home button, just use some helicopter tape.

Nail varnish remover. It has an active ingredient called acetone, which is the main weakness of super glue. I used it before when I managed to get super glue on a kitchen surface.

Hammer, 5lb lump will do the trick

I find that using a 4 pound hammer works perfectly with stubborn buttons that are sticking.
Or I use a small sharp chisel to carefully 'chip' the offending super glue away.

This has the added benefit of charging your battery, provided the compatible OS version is installed.

If he installs the latest OS he also gets the benefit of it waterproofing the phone.
