Superglue

[GypsyRR]

Ahem.

I just want to go on record as saying that Superglue (any brand) should be outlawed during the holidays. It's a quick fix for a myriad of problems when you are too busy to find the correct fix. I'm just sayin'..........

Anyway - the chair is fixed, but I am glued.


Back to holiday preps for me.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. May the next year find you with more for which to be thankful.

Acetone is often found in household nail polish remover, and a small amount on the end of a Q-tip or cotton swab applied directly to the glue should dissolve the bond without damaging the skin. Be very cautious in gently peeling the skin apart as in removing a bandage from the skin; pulling the skin apart may rip the skin! Read the label to make sure that the remover actually contains acetone, as more and more manufacturers are turning away from the chemical because of the growing popularity of acrylic nails (which are loosened by acetone).

Happy Thanksgiving...

Huh?

# Lips
If lips are accidentally stuck together, apply a generous amount of warm water and encourage maximum wetting and pressure from saliva from inside the mouth. Peel or roll (do not pull) lips apart. It is almost impossible to swallow the adhesive as a liquid. The adhesive solidifies upon contact with saliva (moisture) and could adhere to the inside of the mouth. Saliva will lift the adhesive in 1-2 days, avoid swallowing the adhesive after detachment.
# Eyelid
In the event that eyelids are stuck together or bonded to the eyeball, wash thoroughly with warm water and apply a gauze patch. The eye will open without further action within 1-4 days. To our knowledge there has never been a documented case of adhesive in the eye causing permanent damage. Do not try to force eyes open.
# Eyeball
The adhesive will attach itself to the eye protein and will disassociate from it over time, usually within several hours. Periods of weeping and double vision may be experienced until clearance is achieved. Use of a warmed 3% sodium bicarbonate solution to wash eyes repeatedly may assist in aiding more rapid removal of the adhesive.

Just imagine all the funny positions people could glue themselves into... hand to forehead... finger to eyelid... hand to the seat of your pants (while scratching your butt)...

In my case I'm probably like 50/50 when it comes to gluing my fingers together while using the stuff...
