Warnings & Cautions:
Super Glue comes in many brands and is made of different ingredients depending on the brand.
Success can not be guaranteed. The faster you treat the spill, the better.
Even then it may not come out.
If you have a small amount of glue remaining on the tips of the carpet trim the nap very carefully.DO NOT trim too much or you will have a bald spot in the carpet.
Linda Says:
Check your glue container. If there is a phone number for the manufacturer call them and ask their advice. Generally they will have some ideas based on their brand of glue.
