A funny thing happened...

[angboy]

I was working on putting some CA on an MDF blank that I got from a generous friend. I put quite a bit of CA on it and then left it to sit in my shop overnight, and when I went out the next day, this is what I discovered:

Unfortunately, I tried to revive the bug- well not directly via mouth to mouth or anything like that, but it was a hopeless case and I had to declare him DOA and get him off. Ever tried turning a bug?

Too bad you could not flatten him out and make him part of the blank.

Never turned a bug before. Thats crazy, thats one wild looking bug too. Almost looks like a mouse with a long tail and wings.
Cool looking blank anyway. Like the colors.

Dang ... that really bugs me when that happens.

 

[smoky10]

I've turned several worms but never a bug.

Hmmmm, straighten out his rear end a little. some creative pr work. and i think we have a new clip in the works here.

Ang, all you had to do was straighten the tail, add a bunch of CA and you'd have yourself a very interesting integrated clip.[}]

 

[wood-of-1kind]

Must have "big" bugs <s>on</s> in CA [)]

 

[penhead]

Put a hook on it and call it an interesting little fishing lure..??

Curious how you colored the MDF..??
And how does MDF turn? Thought MDF was more like pressed cardboard..?

 

[ed4copies]

Well, IF that happens in my shop,

That bug is SKEWED!!!!!

 

[kent4Him]

It was probably the fumes that killed it.

ROFL, now that's awesome. I can't imagine what that poor thing suffered getting stuck in curing CA. Talk about getting gassed!


Bugs also like lacquer. I've sprayed a LOT of cabinet doors and boxes, only to find a !$#^^U#% fly halfway cast into the door's finish.
