Did you guys know that....

..thin CA bonds plastic parts to your fingers as quickly as it bonds parts to each other?

And that it is kinda hard to type with only one hand?

And that you shouldn't try and take shortcuts when building at 1:30am?

the worst and comic is CA is much more quick on fingers than on parts

Hope you have some de-bonder

One of the early uses for CA was to bond skin in the first place and it still works

I was just thinking about an episode of CSI...
This guy cut himself real deep and used CA to stop the bleeding... he applied (squeezed..er...poured eh whatever you wanna call it! ) the CA straight on the wound....
Grisham said that a lot of athletes use this method when they need to stop blood fast, during a game or what not...
My only question is.. How the heck can they withstand the pain

What pain? CA over wounds doesnt hurt at all. Every time my Xacto slips I fix myself with CA so I can keep working.

I do have debonder. At my parent's house. And it's about 10 years old so who knows how good it is.

I just let the stuff cure for an hour and sanded it off using sanding sticks and paper. Feels fine now.

I saw those guys that do the barefoot water-skiing use superglue to fix cracks in their feet so they can keep skiing.

If you can say "Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares" after glueing your lips together, I'll give you 10 dollars. I need a video of it for proof though.

I've done it several times to close open wounds, it doesn't hurt at all. Quite useful in the pits at the racetrack if I sliced myself open and needed to keep working on the car without getting blood everywhere. Always carried a tube when I was racing mountain bikes too.

a always use CA to stop bleeding. even hospitals use it (well, they give it a fancy name like dermabond but it's really the same)

a few years ago my dad was seeing how sharp a leatherman blade was (when you rub the blade against your thumb-tip when it sliced to tip of his thumb clean off. luckily it was in a hardware store so he just super-glued the tip back on, bought the knife and the glue and left.

I've glued my lips and tongue... (How long until Bob D. says something about it?)

Did you know that CA and Accelerator create heat. Dont get CA on your fingers and then use accelerator unless you like heat blisters.
