A few months ago, I used my teeth on the tip of a CA glue bottle and wound up with glue all over my teeth. That was ridiculous.

A few weeks ago, I glued my damn finger to a table. That was so ridiculously funny that I can't even be mad about it.

But today took the cake.
For some dumb reason, I decided to see if my tip was clogged so being the genius I am, I brought the tip close to my ear and squeezed it.
Well, it wasn't clogged.
Matter of fact, it was flowing quite well.
Right into my damn ear. Direct hit.
Luckily none went into my ear canal and instead it went around my earlobe and the top of my ear.

I'm so glad I bought that debonder.

Good luck. I hope you and CA start getting along.

Brings to mind the Home Improvement episode when Tim glued his forehead to the table :eek::eek::biggrin:
 
I kinds visualized you with a Q-tip glued to your ear, I'm glad it wasn't more serious. Maybe we need a tutorial on CA use.
 
Rich unfortunately I have you beat. 3 days before Christmas last year I was in a hurry to get some pen blanks together to go the next day to show the local high school shop teacher how I do pens. Well I got in a hurry and set my CA glue down on my sliding miter on my table saw. I went to cut a blank real quick and you might of guess it. The bottle fell into the blade and exploded. it covered me head to waist. Luckily I had my safety glasses on. But the good Lord gave me quick reflexes so I seen it coming and turned my head and the CA (thin) glue went up under my glasses and into my eye. They numbed my eye in the ER and put neosporin in it and let it break up. The doctor said Oh look I got the big part. It also had the top layer of my cornea on it. I have gotten 90% of my vision back. Thank the Lord but it was very painful. So Rich I feel your pain. The white line across my eye is the CA glue my wife took this pic in the ER

I don't want to work at shop with any of you guys... I do enough damage to myself... my face mask has lines of CA almost to the point I can't see through it. I've glued my shoes to the floor more than once, but not my fingers (Yet).

Exactly what Chuck says......I can hurt myself in all kinds of creative ways I sure don't need any of y'alls help!
My skew has been the culprit this week. Dropped it the other day and it drew blood in two places(ok I was wearing shorts and no socks). Then I was honing the same skew today and knicked my index finger...which is why my post fits this thread. I used CA to close the cut...which promptly ran into the crease formed at the base of the finger and caused it to be glued into a semi curled position. Smart me I flex my finger pulling it and the cut apart so it's bleeding again AND I've got CA drying on my finger! The bad part? I thought about trying to glue the cut again. :biggrin:

Man you guys are scary, i wonder if youguys have any accisental insurance. Now what the heck were you doing with CA close to your ear, it's beyond me. Well, Itell youwhat youguys don't wan tto have the ear operations like I did so wear your Mask and face shiled and any other protections that is required. (No I didn't hae the operaion because of the CA, it was because of the hearing loss) but it ain't fun. I guess listtle instruction reading is in order here.
 
And all I could think was... be glad Accelerate was not involved. :eek:

CA bonding brother here, I glued my lips shut for about 30 seconds one day, just long enough for me to panic a little. That's the last time I hold the cap in my mouth!

CA Bonding Brothers.... I like that. Maybe we should start our own Chapter here in the IAP. Our slogan could be "We stick together!".
 
Ok since we are in CA confession mode. I was finishing a slim and naturally some was building up on the bushing. Then zap the latex glove I was wearing grab the bushing and I was left standing stunned as half my glove wrapped tightly around the blanks and I was left looking like Billy Idol with a ripped glove on my hand. To make matters worse in my scramble to remove the latex from the pen I managed to glue my now bare fingers to the pen. The happily ever after part was eventually I sold that pen but not the story. That customer never knew the pain I went thru to finish that pen.
