Thought I would start everyone's days off with a big laugh…visualization on your part will help
Last night, I was cleaning up the shop and decided to switch the gunked up tip on my BIG bottle of CA glue that I got from Mannie (Monty on IAP) to a new one. No problem…so I grab the bottle of CA which was ¾ full, take off the tip and set it on the side of the work bench. I reach across the bench and get the new tip. In the process, I knocked over the bottle of CA which promptly rolls off the bench and onto the floor. I have never seen a bottle spin like a top so fast in my life! Glue is flying everywhere! Using amazing speed and agility, I grabbed a towel in my right hand and reached down and grabbed the bottle in my left hand. I sure didn't want to lose all the glue on the floor as it spilled all over the place. Up goes the bottle and down goes the rag. I managed to only lose about ¼ of the glue and got the rag on that mess in no time flat. Wow, am I good!
Just about that same time, my girlfriend pulls into the driveway as we were getting ready to head out to dinner in a bit.
Guess what I was still holding in my left hand….yep, the bottle that was covered in CA from spinning all over the place. When they say it is fast drying, they aren't joking. All of this took place in a matter of about 20 seconds. Let me tell you, that glue was already cured.
By now I have realized that it was not exactly the smartest thing to grab that bottle with my bare hand. Even less smart is the fact that I am left handed (refer back to where I grabbed it with my left hand).
When my girlfriend realized what had happened, she started laughing so hard she ended up on the floor, except she was smart enough to avoid the spilled glue.
We never made it to dinner. I spent the majority of the night prying my hand loose from the bottle. My girlfriend is still laughing. Her title of GF is in serious jeopardy. My title of dumbass is safe and sound.
Hey Mannie, how fast can you ship me a bottle of de-bonder?
Cheers everyone….
Bob
