I doubt if there's anything. But lacquer thinner is worth a try.

You must go into the "Softer side" forum and look for the Dear Obby thread. She'll be able to help you I bet. Good luck!

there is a thing sold in supermarkets (look near the RIT fabric dye)..its called CARBONA stain remover and its what the drycleaners use to remove alot of stains..I'd try this first..it's a solvent based remover so make sure you spot test somewhere where it's not noticable for color fasting etc. ONLY put the carbona on the glue..the less you compromise the material of the pants the better off you are..it should soften up the glue and from there you scrape off what you can (using a blade of some sort) on both the inside and outside of the pants (make sure you use the carbona on both sides of the stain)..you might need to make a couple attempts at removing it but it should come out ok..then dab the area with TIDE and let it sit for a few before you wash it..don't dry it in the dryer until you think all the glue is gone..you may have to repeat the process a few times..it's a pain i know, but it's better than walking around with glue on your pants.

Looks like it's a lost pair of jeans. The glue hardened to the point where it cracked the jeans and put a bunch of thin slices in them. Oh well I need some more pants anyways.

Next time use lighter fluid. It'll take the sticky off of anything and is generally very gentle to the surface itself.

Well... it's kinda late for this but there is a solution that you can buy that dissolves superglue/crazyglue. Don't remember what it's called but I remember that you can buy them in packs with the activator. However, I don't know if it will damage your jeans. Given that they're trashed anyways, might be worth a try just for scientific interest.
