Skin injuries

CA adhesives may glue skin ... together within seconds. In the course of separating the glued body parts, injuries may occur by ripping off parts of the skin. However, when left alone, the glue will separate from the skin over the course of time (up to four days). The separation process can be accelerated by applying vegetable oil near, on, and around the glue. ... [17]

I personally dislike the smell...

Ahh! Yes that's a terrible idea. If you feel like glueing your packer to you it's better to use medical adhesive

The solvent for super glue is acetone or what is used in finger nail polish remover. It can irritate the skin and use in a well ventilated space. Doctors use it in cases of super glue accidents when something needs to be unstuck. Superglue was originally a medical adhesive but I don't recommend using it for something like this.

Super glue is best removed by soaking the skin in warm water. When you wrinkle up like a prune, it will release very easily, you just need to wait and don't force it.

Quick note, superglue was developed for surgery.  It is used in some cases today to prevent scars..  I use it for body mods.
If you want to get really technical, you can buy surgical grade online.  Only difference is it comes in a sterile package and costs more. 

Just be careful;)
