You can either use a razor blade or fingernail polish remover.

Ahh, you found yourself in a sticky situation. Well, you came to the right place.
The active ingredient in super glue is cyanoacrylics, what you really need is 100% acetone. Fingernail polish remover contains acetone & should do the trick.
Test a hidden or small area of surface first. Once satisfied, following these steps:
1. Wet a white paper towel or napkin thoroughly with the nail polish remover, (wet enough of an area to cover the stain) The napkin should be wet, but not dripping.
2. Place the napkin directly on the stain
3. Cover the wet napkin with a piece of plastic such as a baggie or plastic wrap, and then place something heavy on top of the plastic to keep the nail polish solution in contact with the glue. Place a wet towel (dish rag) over the plastic wrap, but a book or something similar should do just as well.
The goal is to keep the nail polish remover from evaporating, so it will soften the glue.
It should take about 1 1/2 hours for glue to soften and come off- Check the progress about every 30 minutes, and reapply more nail polish remover if necessary. Before you know it, the glue stain should be loosened enough to remove.

The same thing happened on my granite kitchen counter! You have to put a towel soaked in hot water (but you have to squeeze some of the water out first) and put it on the area where the super glue is. If you want you can put a pan or a bowl over the towel and the area to trap the heat of the water and the towel. The heat should soften up the glue, and you'll be able to pick it off with your fingers. If it doesnt work the first time, try it again. It may take several times to soften the glue up

How To Clean Super Glue

nail polish remover will work, or if you want to go high dollar get some acetone from the paint department at your local home center. Put a little on a soft cloth and just wipe the super glue, it will come right off.

Do not use any acetone or non ph balanced product to remove it. It will discolor your granite. Do not use a product that will scratch the granite either. Best approach as always is to go to your granite dealer and ask them what they suggest.

Spray with windex and then use a sharp razor blade. Scrape it gently.
I know acetone nail polish remover works on super glue, but I'm not sure how it would work on granite.

Beth, Get some Acetone & wet the glue thoroughly with it. Let it set a few minutes. The Acetone will soften the glue and you can gently scrape it off with a razor. Norm

I can't believe that the answers did not include, use a razor blade first then Goof Off. Don't try it after acetone though. If acetone is used make sure time has passed to dissipate.

Nail polish remover is supposed to be a super glue solvent.

Nail polish remover would probably work...and the granite would be strong enough to handle almost anything you could throw at it.
