And has just realised when basing figures 3 hours ago he used white acrylic paint, not PVA glue?
I've been supergluing a Khurasan multipart bot model together today and managed to glue the side of my hand to the painting table and, having released the hand, glued my index finger to my thumb.
You'd think I might have learned ....
I have never done anything like that! :^o

Tried to use a drill as a knife on several occasions !

Is there another solution?
If that is a serious question, there is a super glue release agent
Your local hospital will have plenty, super glue after all was 'designed' for gluing skin

Nah, not a serious question. It was not near any major arteries and there was very little blood loss... A bit of hair was sacrificed... I managed to get it loose before it bonded permanently but did loose a layer of skin in the process.

Actually it was designed for gun sights and jet cockpits. Medical superglue is not the same as DIY superglue. The latter contains a chemical that creates heat to set the glue and isn't ideal for use on wounds as it may cause burns. Alas, as I've already demonstrated, it's pretty good at bonding me to things. :)
I'll admit that I've used normal superglue to seal up the sausage casing when it gets perforated on a regular basis and have never noticed a chemical type burn (and chemistry is my day job so I have a bit of knowledge on what they look like). Having said that I do tend to wash up after the glue sets .
I quite often ue superglue to stop a scalpel nick from bleeding white I am modeling or painting.
I did have one unfortunate occurrence that I have mentioned on here before.
I know that Bicarbonate of soda helps as an accelerant to make superglue dry quicker.
I had a small nick that was bleeding profusely, to much to allow the superglue to work.
So I thought "I need this to dry quicker". dusted my finger in bicarb and added the superglue..........
I had forgotten the thermal reaction. Lots of "F'ing and blinding as I ran to the sink. Fortunately It was a very superficial burn. it did stop the bleeding though.
Quoteit did stop the bleeding though.
Aye, cauterisation will do that ;)
And it's so painless

The other 'issue' with non-medical superglue is that it contains a hydrogen cyanide variant compound. I have become very allergic to it (due to my time as a silversmith - where it is used in the gold & silver plating process) but it is - of course - extremely toxic.

Thanks for the additional info, that's one urban myth I won't continue to fall for :-bd
