Moisten a rag with acetone, alcohol or mineral spirits to remove fresh Gorilla Glue from plastic. Wipe the glue away with the solvent-dampened rag. Remove cured Gorilla Glue from a hard plastic surface with a razor knife or chisel. Clean residue from the surface using a spray lubricant and an abrasive sponge.
I would avoid super glue removal solvent in case the sink is attacked and marked and leave it to time and hot water and detergent to soften and float it away.
If it is common domestic superglue it is unlikely to survive, though specialised industrial products are rather different and more stubborn.
There is nothing to be lost by waiting and if it doesn't work after many immersions and soakings the razor blade will still be there.
Super Glue is a cyanoacrylate adhesive. It's impervious to water, but can be dissolved with an organic solvent, such as acetone. Some nail polish removers contain acetone, but be sure to check the label, since many acetone-free products are available and will not work against Super Glue. It's also possible to find pure acetone in stores that sell home supplies or art supplies, because acetone is a useful solvent.
As reported in the information leaflet, E-6000 can be removed using nail polisher remover, which contains acetone. Here an extract from the leaflet:
"Uncured E-6000 can be cleaned by using small amounts of solvents such as Acetone, Tolulene or Naphtha. Cured E-6000 requires scraping or cutting away product with sharp knife and use of mineral spirits to soften product."
Hardened E-6000 may be more difficult to remove. Below a list of E-6000 solvents, as reported in the adhesive's specification sheet:
Most of the products mentioned above require special precautions, as they can be toxic, flammable or corrosive. When doing the removal job observe carefully the health and safety prescriptions for the chosen solvent.
I would try either: a) a razor blade and hot soapy water b) acetone (nail polish remover) c) if there is alot of it and neither of the previous 2 solutions worked, you can buy superglue solvent
Not to much can repair / remove the crazy type glues once they are applied to plastics and plastic overlays. Some people attemp to use these not knowing that some types of plastic will not bond. most of the solvents that can desolve the glues will also damage the panels.
