I would check what the acetone does to the leather before you try this.
Acetone may affect colors or melt plastic fibers, such as some nylons or carpet. Test it on a hidden area first.

What do I do if I stick my fingers together?

Don't worry. Just soak acetone or ordinary (acetone based) nail polish remover containing acetone on the bonded area. The bond will break but be sure to rinse the area thoroughly after de-bonding. If you don't have acetone handy, have a little patience! Soak the bonded area in warm soapy water. Carefully peel or roll the skin apart gently and slowly. DO NOT PULL APART, Instant Krazy Glue® creates a VERY strong bond that's nearly impossible to break by pulling straight up and down. If you gently roll the skin, you will gradually diminish the bonds between the Instant Krazy Glue molecules themselves and be able to get your fingers apart.

haha, funny you mention that. cuz i got some on my finger this morning and i wanted to see how strong it was. i clamped my right thumb and index finger together. THEY WOULD NOT BUDGE. Today was my first day of school by the way so i spent my whole day with 3 fingers on my dominant hand.
First day is always the sleep day so no writing was required.

But thanks. ill try sister's nail polish remover.

[lol] ... careful with that stuff ... originally it was made to close surgical cuts. School started?! It's July 19! Then again I've been in summer session since June 1. What are you taking and where?

Hey reem, lucky you didn't stick the finger in the nose.

Acetone (as mentioned) will work. However, being a solvent, will probably also begin to remove the color from the leather as well.

Acetone + Leather = Bad news.

As recommended above, you need to keep the area around the super glue acetone free.

You can take regular petroleum jelly and put a thin layer on the leather around the glue. This will protect it from the acetone. It also comes off pretty easy with some soap and leather cleaner. It is a little bit of pain to clean, but at least it won't ruin your seats!
