Funny as ****....I think not :-|
A plastic strip type thingy had come off my alarm key for, so I decided to get the superglue out and stick it back on. Read the instructions (remove cap, position nozzle above desired area and press sides gently) then splat....half the Tub empties onto my hands, key fob....not to mention the kitchen worktop/floor/chair/sink etc - pretty much everywhere. Mad dash to wash my hands results key fob, which was instantly glued to my hand deciding to stop working on me........now my car was sold with only 1 set of keys so yup you guessed it - Locked out of car!
Any suggestions on superglue removal or how to bring my alarm fob back to life would be much grateful

Could you not ring your insurance co and say your keys were knicked? maybe able to get a new set.

Is your alarm one of the standard Sigmas with a keypad in the glove box? You can always operate the alarm from that until you get a new transmitter.

Getting back to the original subject! - If thre's one thing superglue (cyanoacrylate) does well, it's stick skin! (ever tried the superglue on the toilet seat trick?) It was developed many years ago to "stitch" wounds together in the Vietnam war, in the field.
As an aeromodeller I've used loads of the stuff. DON'T breath the fumes - contains cyanide! (difficult to detect) they can give you bad "hay fever" type symptoms.
