The perils of superglue

[Brian4]

Sequence of events , The boss said the hoover is broke (not that it is a hoover and not 'I have broken the hoover')
the end of the hose had been pulled off. I pushed it all back together but would pull off again when I tried. Temporary fix whilst a replacement comes I'll superglue the end onto the hose.

Tube of glue is sealed at the end couldn't have cleaned it when I put it away last time, no prob so I cut the end off, was a bit far down so I get loads coming out the bottle now, any way hose fixed and doesn't pull off the boss is happy for a bit until she picks up the scissors. Yup glued the blades together hadn't I fortunately partly open so quick trip to the garage and all freed off.
How many other tales of superglue are there I wonder?

 

[jonco]

Yup - done the scissors one myself.

The other week in McDonald's............
Some stupid person put super glue on the toilet seat ........
A poor 6 year old sat on it
The ambulance was called and she was taken to hospital
Poor little girl
Some people's minds must be sick

 

[Shelly]

I've also stuck my fingers together etc
It's so hard to get off

 

[Shelly]

Did anybody see the program on TV about people frightened about going to the dentist
A lady on the program was so frightened .........
Her front tooth had come out and she used to stick it back in with super glue
I wouldn't try this at home

...Her front tooth had come out and she used to stick it back in with super glue ...

I did this many years ago.I made a temporary repair using superglue but when I told my dentist he wasn't impressed. He said "Superglue has cyanide in it, you'll poison yourself." Never done it again

 

[Shelly]

Yes @Mint
The lady got told off too

This stuff is used daily in the medical profession, and first found medical use during the Vietnam war to stop bleeding wounds, giving soldiers the chance to make it to the field hospital. There is not much chance of toxicity as it hardens on contact with liquid (air, water, blood etc), and the chemical reaction is complete.

gluing teeth in i knew a guy who used t-cut scratch removing paste on his teeth to get rid of smoking stains yes it did work.

Superglued skin can be sorted using acetone (nail varnish remover). Gently bathe the affected area using a cotton bud or similar and very gently separate the stuck area.

Its commonly used to stick head wounds in the hair line. A quick and painless way of patching up broken children

 

[swamper]

used it for years on myself and the dogs....never had a problem
