Just Super

Super Glue, Future Glue or any one of a dozen names for the sticky stuff lives up to it's name. It sticks the cap of the glue to the tube. If you get a drop on your finger, it will adhere said finger to the very next thing you touch.

You should use the stuff once and throw the remaining tube away. It usually hardens and you can't get the liquid stuff past the blockage. My wife, always wanting to save money, came up with a brilliant plan. She would burrow through the hardened glue with a straight pin, thus being able to use the glue at least a couple of times. It only took a few seconds to realize the error of her ways. Yep - she now had her thumb and forefinger stuck together with a pin in between them. I let her suffer a bit before giving her options. I think we ran through just about all of them before her fingers went their separate ways.

Wow! That glue will stick just about anything together... except two items you really want to stick together!

As a "hobbyist" I have many times glued my fingers together... and once, a finger to my cheek (don't ask)

I discovered a very handy fluid: "Un-Cure" - it dissolves superglue, and avoids very embarassing explainations to your friends as to why you have a weird red patch of missing flesh off your cheek...
