Home Depot has spray foam remover in the paint department. Works on hands but you will need several applications.

I gave up after tons of scrubbing with both nail polish remover and mineral spirits. What worked was scraping it off with a serrated knife....but be careful

It’s on your phone now too. Why don’t you go jerk off and ruin that too?

Good luck, in my experience if it dries it damn near has to wear off or your skin will shed before it comes loose.

If it hasn't cured you have a much better chance with solvents, oils, etc. breaking it down.

if dried, time is what works best for me. If still sticky then acetone.

Have always used gasoline. Was my grandfather's go-to.

agree with the others...once it has dried, I have not found anything to get it off. I usually end up using something like an emery board to try to wear it down to a presentable state.

Dried foam is a bitch. You’ll just have to wear it off. Scrape and peel it as much as you can.

Gasoline or thinner worked okay if it was fresh.

Use Neosporin or Vaseline. That makes super glue deactivate and come off. Worth a shot.
