SuperGlue, Superfoo(l)

Superglue Superfoo(l)

I wish it rhymed better.

So I do stupid things. Incase you didn't already know. 

I haven't done that before, although similar.

Things were worse than normal yesterday.

I always promise myself that anytime I use superglue I’m going to put gloves on.

Incase you didn't read my other story, I glued my fingers to my door recently.

The worst part, is that wasn't even the first time I did it. I never seem to learn my lesson.

Yesterday someone asked me to fix the handles on a pair of scissors. I thought perhaps if I used enough superglue it was fix the cracked in half plastic handle.

I covered the crack in glue. I kept blowing on it. I didn't realize my finger and thumb had somehow been covered with superglue. I lost all feeling in my finger and thumb. My skin went hard as a rock.

I wondered if I was going to be able to use my smartphone as my finger isn't really skin anymore, its solid superglue.

After feeling the need to remove it, I read online superglue’s only weakness is nail polish remover. Much like Superman's only weakness is Kryptonite (and magic and the red sun and depending on the comic other colours of Kryptonite, but lets ignore those).

I asked all the girls if they had any, but they only had nail polish. One informed me nail polish removes nail polish so it’s the same (she lied, it’s not the same).

She proceeded to paint my finger and thumb purple with nail polish. In addition to my finger and thumb being rock solid, I now also had a purple-sparkly finger and thumb.

One of the girls told me we had “Goo gone” to remove that kind of thing. I asked is she sure it’s for superglue and she said yes.

I should have remembered she lied to me in step 1 as I was stuck with a purple finger and thumb, but I didn't.

I went and got it. The directions on the back stated for furniture, upholstery and other items. I did notice it said poison on the front, but I wasn't planning to drink it so I figured its fine.

I dipped my finger and thumb in the bottle. A nice bleach skin eating feeling came across me. I guess I should have taken them out, but I really wanted to absorb it.

I had scratched at my skin with my nail and some scissors so the skin was already exposed.

I rubbed my whole hands in the goo gone and kept rubbing the skin. Felt like layers of skin were being removed.

I now noticed on the front the bottle read “DO NOT PUT ON SKIN, THIS IS POISON”.

The back in small print informs to always wear gloves when using and clean hands immediately if any touches the skin.

Now that my hands were on fire, I thought it was a good time to wash my hands.

As I was about to leave the office one of the maintenance staff entered the room.

He said hi and saw the bottle of Goo gone was out.

“Be careful, you don’t want to get that on your skin, its poison”.

I laughed and left the room, my hands dripping with goo gone.

Once home another issue arose which again required the mighty SUPERGLUE.

I contemplated keeping my promise and getting some gloves.

I didn't.

  

I now have superglued skin on both hands.

LOL.  Nothing to do with Superglue. "Super" funny though.

Superglue Super stupid

Superglue, Super Stupid!

I did something semi stupid today.
What else is new?

I decided to fix my door which had a few pieces of wood detached.

Ah the real power of super-glue.

I actually ripped them off my door myself for Reno in another part of my condo. When I brought it to the store the guy asked why I brought chunks of wood, I said to paint match.

He looked at me bewildered, "It has to be flat and just the paint, I don't need the weird shapes of wood. Needs to be about as big as a twoonie". 

OK I thought.

I went home to glue the wood pieces back in place.

They were awkward shapes. I covered them with super-glue and held them on the door.

One slight problem.

My fingers not only glued together, they also glued to the door.

I slowly peeled my fingers from the door, happy I didn't lose any skin (this time).

I decided to then put the super-glue only on the door and push the piece of wood on. The wood was too small and I got more super-glue on my fingers.

I was stuck with three fingers together.
If you have never tried it before, don't bother. Makes life very difficult.


The worst part of this story is my last two experiences with super-glue I had glued my fingers together too and I swore I would never do without gloves again. 
I didn't use gloves.

Oh boy!
