Well, this day was a real waste of time. Woke up real early and managed to do less if I would have woke up later. No matter, I’ll just catch up in the night.
But on the plus side – I have, like, 3 page views!
So just to take the mind off:
Five reasons you should avoid using super glue
1. First time use
So every one of us time to time break something. And chances are, that in need of mending something, you have bought your first ever tube of super glue! Sadly, for some reason, every time super glue is bought, we act like we seen it for the first time and we make the lethal mistake – we carelessly unscrew the cap and wonder, why nothing comes out, when we squeeze the tube? Then we realize, that the seal needs to be broken and we proceed to do that. And what happens? BLAM! Just when that pesky seal is broken, super glue comes out in uncontrollable stream of horror and glues everything to everything (except the part you intended to glue in place)
2. The explosion
Most likely after the first and only use, we cap that thing up and put it somewhere safe, hopefully to not see ever again. But of course comes the time we break something again and start to think “But wait, I had super glue lying around, I could fix this in no time and no one would ever know. Oh my, so awesomely smart I am!” So in an epic search for the tiny tube we go and once it’s found, we come to realization, that it haven’t been used in while, so tip have been glued shut and nothing comes out. Then comes the lethal mistake again – we poke it with needle. as soon as there is a hole the super glue explodes out of it in speed of light and again glues everything to everything and once you manage to control the situation (more or less) you realize, that there is no super glue left for the work you intended to use it.
3. Laws of gluing
Have you read texts on the super glue packaging? the list of stuff it can glue together is quite impressive, that’s for sure! But then again, how much of the listed stuff you have tried to glue together? How much of it you successfully glued together? If you are a simple person and have no creepy super powers in avoiding glue, chances are, the only thing you can successfully glue together is leather. More precise, your skin. A little tip – even if you’re hands aren’t free because of the parts you are holding, never ever open super glue with your mouth. Never.
4. The Illusion
Buying super glue one could think “wow, it’s kinda small tube, will it be enough for me? Maybe I should buy two? Naa, probably gonna be enough, it’s super glue.” And once it’s used you realize, that really, you don’t need much of it. But then the illusion kicks in. The second time you try to use it, you squeeze as much as you can, but the parts don’t stick together and as the matter of fact, you don’t even have much to squeeze, cause half of the tube was just air.
5. Burning man
In these modern days synthetic clothes are common and nothing special to think about. And probably in comfort of your house you’re wearing something warm and ugly. And God help you, if you wear something synthetic while trying to super glue something. As mentioned before, super glue have tendency spread out all over the place as much as possible and if some of it drips on your synthetic clothes, it gets really, really hot. And not just that, it gets really hot and sticks to your skin!
and of course if you have a non synthetic clothes, you are more lucky, but still, those drips are indestructible and hard as rock and the will stay there forever, rubbing against your skin in not so nice manner.
So here you have it, avoid using super glue as much as you can, but if you really, really need to use it, ask for someone else to do that.
“The tube exploded in my hand and partly on my face…
I’m disfigured!!!!!!!!!!”
I told you so…
