Default Superglue!

Anyone know how to get it off a leather sofa?

My wonderful boyfriend thought it would be clever to superglue whilst sat on the sofa. He noticed a blob of it on the sofa so put the tube down and went to get a cloth to wipe it... the tube had glue on it too so got stuck to the sofa!!
He managed to get the tube off but it has left white marks on the sofa and a bit of glue remains.

I mean seriously... I leave him alone for a few days.....

I think the usual first steps in these situations are to point at sofa and scream at bf, don't speak to him for 3 days (and other stuff) and allow him to find the solution himself. If there is one. If the solution causes more problems on the sofa, rinse and repeat until a new sofa appears.

Superglue Remover is available from all good retail outlets, but I guess test on a bit of the sofa first in case it take the colour out. The white marks may be from 'pulling the tube off' (so to speak )

Ah you see I thought I was wise to the ways of women... but I was too hasty. The "save it for when its useful" technique always gets me.
