CA Glue

[Glennbear]

While using CA glue to effect a repair on a non porus surface today I made the following observations:

1) If a paper towel is used to remove excess it WILL bleed through causing unsightly clumps of towel to adhere to your fingertips.

2) When you already have clumps of paper stuck to your fingers is not a good time to remember you did not replace your container of acetone when you used the last of it.

3) Rooting around for the bottle of nail polish remover that you are SURE you have in the bathroom cabinet is not recommended either. This activity will probably serve no purpose other than to cause a stray cotton ball or two to latch on to the paper towel clump.

4) The Virginia chapter of R.A.W. (Rank Amateur Woodworkers) recommends that you make sure you have the appropriate solvent readily available in your shop BEFORE opening the CA container.

5) For those of you who share your abode with a member of the fairer gender, removing her bottle of nail polish remover to reside in your shop without consultation/permission does not promote domestic harmony.

Thank you for reading this safety tip and I hope your use of CA glue is less eventful.

I've always found that after 2 or 3 days the paper towel will fall off your finger. Besides, it is a good conversation starter when people see you walking around like that.
