i had some residual glue stay on the water surface after gluing a frag down, must have snagged it with the inside of my elbow, next thing I new my forearm was glued up to my bicep. That one sucked to cut free!!

Not sure if you guys know nail polish remover (acetone) works to break down the glue? Works great... Maybe not in your mouth though...

Thanks for sharing this trick. I used to have glue all over my fingers everytime I used the runny glue from dollar store, but just couldn't find the solution how to get rid of it. But since I change to the glue that is called thick gel, it is super easy now.

Haha I had to learn that trick quickly as in my profession I use super glue a lot! I'd take that over a razor blade... Eek!

The end of my super glue tube was blocked and I squeezed it a little too hard... The tube popped and sprayed superglue everywhere including my face! I rushed to the bathroom and rinsed my eyes out with water. Luckily nothing stuck together but I came close.

super glued (liquid kind) stainless steel mesh together to a tube as filter guard for a freshwater setup before...That was the day I learnt that superglue heats up rapidly when curing. Needless to say, I had grill marks on my fingers for weeks

I think I would rather wear a glue bottle attached to my finger for a week or so then use a razor blade to remove it

Being a mechanic you get used to leaving skin behind after a job.
