Question, When using glue, what do you end up being glued to???
I have been glued to chairs, ceiling manhole covers (going into loft),worktop, bench, wing of car....anything worse???

Instant glue - those tiny bottles - a drop between 2 fingers - only thing that will separate the fingers again is using a razor blade cutting thru the skin [:o)]

Superglue is no use for anything except skin; I believe it was developed for this purpose.
Its very good for cuts; hospitals often use it instead of stitches, so keep a tube handy when changing BX diesel cambelts!!!!

I have this theory that the human race is divided into two - those for whom superglue works and those for whom Araldite works.
I've used superglue with great success to bond all kind of things but b---y araldite just won't work for me.........

Superglue was developed for the US military in Vietnam to stick soldiers back together. That's pretty much why it sticks skin to skin...

Did anyone ever see the episode of "Mr Bean" when he was at a woodworking class & made a project (table I thinkit was) & stuck it together with Super glue?
The teacher ended up with the phone stuck to his ear, the bus conductor grabbed the post at the bus stop that he'd wiped some on & promptly ended up stuck to the bus stop, some old dear sat on the saet at the bus stop & got glued to the bus stop seat, another ended up with the newspaper stuck on his face and they all ended up in the casualty ward at the Hospital where things & people still kept getting stuck to various items as well as other people....I could relate to that!![:o)][:o)]

It might be useful to say that cyano's (superglue) need moisture to cure. Epoxy (eg araldite) doesn't. Just breathing on surfaces before using superglue can help. Also note Araldite benefits from some heat to complete cure; and needs very clean surfaces. Detergent-cleaning is preferable to white spirit or solvents. And never be tempted to add some extra hardener to speed up Araldite curing; it doesn't work like that!

And did anyone ever see that famous episode from American Pie featuring a college graduate, p**n tape and superglue.
