I was repairing a piece of a powerhead, used a little extra super glue to make sure it would hold. I put it down and while waiting I read the instructions. Somewhere I read "do not get in eyes" and I thought too myself who would do something that stupid.

Well I picked up the piece too inspect it and it snapped between my fingers sending a glob of glue into my left eye. It scared the crap out of me. The glue stun like a bugger (oh did it sting). I kept my eye pried open and flushed my eye in the kitchen sink. Though for sure I was going too glue my eye shut.

Only me that could happen too.

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
