There are times I can be dumber than a box of rocks... and today was one of them.... 
Drilled a couple of acrylic blanks for some Elegant Americans...
Sanded the tubes and glued them in with epoxy like I usually do... of course I ran out of epoxy for the last blank...
SOOOOOO, being lazy and not wanting to mix more, I decided to glue up the last blank with thick CA... something I rarely use for gluing tubes...
OF COURSE, the tube stuck 3/4 of the way into the blank.. locked up like a bank vault... without thinking I dumped the blank into a small jar of acetone I keep for cleaning bushings and went back into the house to wait for the CA to break free...
Came out a half hour later and YUP you guessed it... soft goeey acrylic blank in the CA jar with the tube still stuck fast inside it... Yes, I know that acetone disolves plastics and acrylics... Yes I know that I should not have put the blank in the jar to free up the tube... And yes I know:
There are days when I am dumber than a box of rocks...
