How to remove PVC glue from hair and body

I need to know if anyone out there knows how to help me out. My husband was using the glue on an overhead project and the glue spilled. It covered a good portion of his head and ran down his back etc. Does anyone know how to remove it from his hair? We tried just cutting the hair but it actually glued the hair to the scalp in one large area. Please help.

Try Q-tip [affil links] immersed in acetone [on eBay or Amazon] (very combustible,be careful), or mixture of 1 part water, 1 part acetone [on eBay or Amazon] and some corn starch or wheat flour (result must be thick paste)! Avoid any contact with eyes! Rinse well! Hope it helps and good luck!
