<< hahhaa... i got super glue on my hands once.. i just left it on for a long time.. eventually it wore away :D... the best was.. i put super glue over a wound... eventually a scab formed UNDERNEATH the glue.. and it all fell off in a big lump >>




You know that sounds funny but hospitals are using it to close wounds and it works quite well.

Actually, that is what super glue was designed for...as a medical adhesive that could replace sutures...

:cool:

Carry on...

A long time ago I was living in Milwaukee. In the dead of January my car was in the shop and I was borrowing a friends. Her inside rearview mirror fell off. I decided to superglue it back on. As the car was parked on the street a quarter mile from the apartment, and it was about zero out, I put the tube of superglue in my jeans front pocket to keep it warm.

When I got to the car, I stuck my hand in my pants pocket to get the glue and found out the cap had come off (apparently quite a bit earlier, too). Pants superglued to thigh and hand superglued inside pocket. Not fun.

Never could get that damn mirror glued back on right anyway.

Ah superglue. I've had so much of that on my skin at various times. Ah the memories.

The jeans thing really sucks. I remember several occasions where I would drip some on my jeans. No big deal, just wipe it off right? No, the stuff quickly adheres your jeans to your leg. A good tug gets it off.

HaHaHa...

I had a call at a casino hotel where some lady put it into her eye, she thought it was her eyedrops. LOFLMAO!!! We took her to the ER and the doc told me that people actually do that all the time. ;) <---she looked like that, without the smile...

Usually a hack saw will work. Make sure you do like "Night of the living dead", when you cut off a part, poor gas on the wound, burn it, and bandage it. Always a sure shot.

for future events
you can use acetone
or
soak your hand in warm water.

--

if you glue your eye lids shut, call for help.
