Look at the bottle, stupid!

Then maybe, you won't cover your fingers and pen with CA glue when you meant to clean up with solvent.

Ouchies, and [:I]!!!

Man even if I did something like that I would not tell everyone about it.[]

 

[IPD_Mrs]

I darn sure wouldn't let my wife know. Once she was done telling everyone we know, she would razz me well past the time it takes to wear off.

 

[TBone]

Carl, if I'm not mistaken you're the first person on this forum to get CA on their fingers [][}][]

 

[ctwxlvr]

I personally have .... ummm .... had Friends that had CA on their fingers and all over a finished pen due to a loose center band. Yeah this it[]

 

[hughbie]

i'm curious.....getting CA on your fingers is a BAD thing? hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmm[^][^]

 

[Texatdurango]

Know those little disposable bottles we all use? Know how similar in appearance boiled linseed oil and gorilla glue look? Know how easily felt tip marker labels rub off? That's as far as I'm gonna go, the rest is just pure admission to a big boo boo... but I feel for ya![]

 

[CaptG]

I gotta ask, what does a ca/gg finish look like??[][}][]

Let's just say a 10 step finish turned into a 16 step finish! []

 

[DaveM]

Was the next step getting a putty knife, and removing the GG?

DAMHIKT...
A "Friend" tipped a bottle of GG over on his "Clean" bench. (He shouldn't have nad any glue on that bench) He then proceeded to lay out a clean cloth, and take a finished pair of walnut barrels and lay them on the cloth to make a fountain pen. After sticking together the nib parts, he went to pick up the barrel, and noticed that it was stuck to the workbench and the cloth. He tried to wipe off the GG, but it ended up ruining the finish. Boy my "Friend" was mad! He even said a couple of bad words.[:I]

Dave

BTW, the same "Friend" has also glued almost every possible combination of body parts, household items, and hobby equipment together with CA at one point or another in his lifetime. He finally learned to keep some debonder handy.

pps.. He also has a pen blank ready to turn, with the tip of a rubber glove CA'd to it. Shouldn't be a problem, because I ... I mean he trimmed the glove really close to the wood...

 

[MarkHix]

as a newbie, I learn soooo much from you guys

A. Bottles are supposed to have labels
B. My wife went to the same wife school as Mlkwoodworking's wife did.
C. A loose center band is a valid excuse for lots of things
D. A gg finish is really an experiment
E. There are (was) such a thing as a clean bench.
F. If you trim the rubber glove close enough, you can save the blank

 

[DocRon]

Just one more thing -- don't glue your fingers to anything that is too heavy to pick up.[8]

 

[hughbie]

i have the same problem DaveM. that is, i have the same 'friend' as you do. &lt;wink&gt;
my clean portion of my work bench gets a good scrapin' now and then to get rid of all the extra bits and pieces.
the price of debonder and a good scraper are well worth it.[:I]

 

[rcarman]

My latest "carry" pen is really convenient. It is permanently attached to my finger, never gets lost but don't scratch your eyes.[]

 

[Stevej72]

I use a biometric pad to read my fingerprint when a password needs to be entered on my computer. Many times it hasn't worked until the CA wears off, then I actually have to remember the PW and type it in. Maybe I need to enter more than 2 fingerprints into the system.

 

[TBone]

Peeling CA off of your fingers is a hobby isn't it? []

 

[dewey37]

Reminds me one time I was chopping some japlapeno peppers. Mother nature called. Enough said.
Duane

 

[Fred]

Handling Japlapeno Peppers and answering the call of nature is one thing. But do not ever grab the wife when she is amorous and "in the mood". You ain't ever rode a wild ride like that my friends. [}]

And TBone, you actually scrape off the CA? I have always just sat down and chewed my fingers clean, but then again I am an animal...

Some of my "friends" consider it a full time job. []

 

[TBone]

Sometimes I think it's MY full time job. But I'll admit it's easier than peeling melted nitrile gloves off of your fingers DAMHIKT! [][V]

Or just drop some CA on the pad??[][]
