Super Glue.....

Back in the 80's I wrote a scholarly treatise for an international publication on the creation and use of CA glues (super glue), with specific focus on repairing stringed musical instruments. The first use of super glue was during the Korean War. First aid stations would glue an injured soldier back together before sending them on to a MASH unit. Super glues cure best in the absence of oxygen, in the presence of protein and low amounts of moisture.... Which is why it bonds to skin so very well. Our skin is made of protein, and has a little bit of moisture - and very little oxygen. It's like we are the perfect substrate to be glued together with CA.
Lots of people who work with their hands (like me) find in wintertime, that CA is a godsend for gluing cuts and other splits in dry skin back together. I do it all the time. It's hard and protective, waterproof, and comes off in about a week after the skin heals. Many guitarists super glue their fingernails back together (or glue on plastic nails). The gals at the nail salons? They use CA to attach your ladies fancy-ass nails.

Super Glue.....
Just to vent on this.....
Using my phone/internet this morning,
screens are hopping all over the place, closing out messages before I am done !!!!
FOUND THE PROBLEM !!!
Yesterday I was working with Super Glue.
Now Super Glue is like "Anti-Seaze", you can not STOP from getting some on your fingers !!
So on my right index finger in a spot of hardened Super Glue, just the right size of my finger print.
YOUR PHONE TOUCH PAD DOES NOT LIKE IT!
I had to get a stylus pen to use the internet.
And Now Back to Your Regular Scheduled Programming...Tags: None
