ok, we've all had them, so share your story.
I bring this up, because I've just finished separating both my thumbs from a piece of interior trim I was gluing back together. somehow, they both got glued to the same piece of trim in different place, and much swearing and a few layers of skin later, I'm free.

how in the hell did he manage that?
I've rubbed my eyes with the residue of that stuff on my fingers (from a previous misadventure), and it stings like all hell!

My 23 year old mate had one of those corneal transplant operations where they remove your fucked up cornea and replace it with a donor one... Well one day at uni he decided that he didn't need much glue from the superglue tube and used a pin to make a small hole in the side. As soon as he pricked the tube the glue squirted out and right into his eye. He was rushed to hospital and the doctors were really worried that his body was going to reject his new cornea. The result... He had to put imunosuppressant (spelling?) drops in his eye every hour for 2 weeks. Imagine having to wake up every 50 minutes during the night. He said that he'd rather lose the eye next time.

Ive glued my hand to my radio controlled car, seperated it, glued it back to a different part of the chassis, again to the shock tower, then the super glue tube to the desk... i didnt realise it was leaking :/
as for more... aryldyte and bostik epoxy's really do stick well, to clothing, hair, skin and bricks... dont ask :/

i almost cried like a girl when i glued my fingers together. the missus was trying her hardest to rip them apart without the aid of acetone or any other chemical. theres also a big gob of it on my bed sheet which somewhat resembles a 'stain'

You should have used acetone!
We have to use it to get fibreglass and gelcoat off our skin... pure acetone is just really cold and evaporates on your skin almost straight away....

the reason its cold is because it evaporates straight away  running pure acetone through a evaporative airconditioner would be a very cold way of gassing yourself

I had a large bottle of the zap-a-gap glue you can get from hobbyshops (bloody good stuff) anyway the lid was stuck on really well and I was trying to twist it off. The bottle snapped of around the neck and covered my whole hand in superglue I had the bottle stuck to my hand and my hand was fixed in the one position. Half a bottle of acetone later the bottle was gone and I could bend my fingers again...
Also if you get some of the stuff which hardens superglue instantly (ie for plastics and metals which as stated above take longer for ca to bond to) spray a bit on your finger and drop a small bit of ca on it.
Burns like a mofo!!

Lol, the first time i used acetone i poured some into a plastic container.. made of thin plastic it just burned a hole straight thru it and poured onto the floor....
Damn man, acetone smells bad enough when you cop a face full of fumes from that... bugger putting it thru an air con..!!!
Not a bad idea though... I'll be sure to keep that in mind! Probably work the same as styrene fumes.... I wonder if styrene would get rid of superglue? Apart from the fact you arent allowed to get it on your skin and breathe it in and all
