So I've heard of many others drastic CA mishaps, ears, fingers and hands bonded to various things, and absolutely none of them were anything to laugh at I'm sure. Maybe in retrospect, after a period of time, but otherwise, there is nothing funny about being glued to your bench with the de-bonder just out of reach...
I've been lucky up till now, and while coming close to gluing a couple fingers together, I've always managed to get them apart a split second before they harden, and have never had anything worse than a good hard layer on my skin for a few days. Today that changed, but I was lucky enough to have it happen in a way that I could laugh at WHEN it happened instead of days later... Local store had a sale on a different brand of CA than I usually use, so I had a brand new bottle of a new type than I usually use. The old brand had a threaded cap, so I've gotten in the habit of picking up the bottle by the cap, then removing the cap and using the glue. This new brand has a press on cap with a small "nail" in it to keep the nozzle clear, but I also bought the larger bottle, since I've been going through it like gatoraid at a marathon. So I pick up the new bottle by the cap and it drops to the floor and rolls under the bench. Pick it up and apply it. Cap it and put it down. apply accelerator, repeat (everything, including dropping the bottle) 4 or 5 times not thinking abut it. At some point, I shifted my feet, and after a while went to shift them again, and couldn't... Apparently when the bottle hit the floor, some got out and sat there, waiting for something to attach to... Luckily my feet are thick skinned, so they're short a few layers of skin in a couple places, but none the worse for the wear, but LOML did stick her head out to find out what was so funny....
