So, usually when I use crazy glue (or whatever it's called) I get a little bit on my finger and it's no big deal.
This time, however was different.
I guess the tube/container thingy didn't like being stored sideways because when I pulled the lid off, this big ol drop came out and attached itself to my left index finger.
I kind of stared at it, went ahead with the job I had to do and then went back to staring at the now hardened, blob of crazy glue that was on my finger and in and over my fingernail.
I tried to pull it off, but, apparently that only works when there's a mere fragment (and by the way, the middle finger that I did pull the fragment off of? Feels very owie. I don't recommend my "pulling" method y'all)
Thank goodness for the internet and thank goodness I like having pretty red toenails.
For future reference, nail polish remover did the trick and saved me from having to make a really embarrassing trip to a clinic. Imagine that conversation, if you will:
"Um, hi. I have a glob of crazy glue stuck on the end of my finger. Help?"

First, what is "Crazy Glue" ?
If it's any relative of "Super Glue", otherwise known as Cyanoacrylate, it was invented to glue skin together - which is why it works so well on skin. To remove it, just put it under a hot tap, and hey presto - it vanishes.
It is apparently a relative of Super Glue!
I had NO idea about the hot water trick, nice! :)
i had that happen except two fingers got stuck together! i called the help line and they suggested soaking in warm water, which did eventually work! nail polish remover seems like it would work faster. i think/hope that may be one of those things you only have happen once, because from then on i have been super cautious around superglue.
Lexi, I'm thinking I'll be super cautious from now on too! ;)
But think of how entertaining (in a non-gross way!) it would have been for the medical clinic staff. ;)
Lucky you didn't try to pick your nose before it had set! ;)
I guess so Yvonne. :)
Dominic, that'd just have been the worst! :)
