Better make sure it is not INDUSTRIAL Acetone, because INDUSTRIAL Acetone will melt rubber and discolor things.

Saddletramp025 is exactly right, but if you don;t have any acetone finger nail polish remover will work if it has acetone in it!!!

The problem with most nail polish removers available today is that they DON'T contain acetone. Too much concern over what kids are sniffing and huffing has resulted in acetone being removed from most brands of nail polish removal. You will have to check the label to be sure. Otherwise try the hardware store. Acetone is a great stripper, but it can be too strong for many plastics.

I've found that crazy glue tends to ruin plastics once it's been on there a while, so be prepaired for less than desirable results.
