Super-glued finger

[N_Cook]

First time for me, leak down the thread of the tube under the spout
plastic, one glued on index finger.
A loose loop of leather-work cotton thread around the affected area,
tied off.
Teased out cotton wool , wound around over the thread, doused with acetone.
A matchstick in the loop , to Spanish Windlass.
Squash wool, wind a turn, repeat over some minutes until free

**That's part of the reason why I use this stuff:

Specifically, the little bottle, with the squeezy things on the sides.
No leak, no fuss. And yes, I, too, have had those crappy tubes leak glue
onto my fingers. The giveaway is the warm feeling, from the exothermic
reaction between the glue and your skin.

You don't really have to do anything if you accidentally glue a
finger with superglue. The skin constantly releases oil, sweat
and dead cells. The glue comes away along with these byproducts
after some time.

Maybe you heard about surfical gloves !

Its not the glue bond itself that is the problem, but what you end up
glued to. Even a small tube glued transverse to a finger , makes that
whole hand pretty useless.
I'll leave a pack of latex gloves next to the jam jar containing
superglue tubes and pack of activated silica gel.

Latex & Superglue. A recipe for disaster. What you want to use would be Nitrile gloves. Superglue has a near-instant affinity to latex, much less so to nitrile. SG sticks even more poorly to polyethylene gloves - such as the clear gloves that food workers often use. Also very cheap.

I'll swap the 2 latex gloves I'd placed over the jam-jar lid, with
poltyhene ones

This reminds me of an incident some 30 years ago. The plastic
lining in my father-in-law's fridge had a hole where a full glass
bottle had dropped on it. I took a tube of Loctite superglue and
a piece of plastic along the next time we visited. Back then, not
everyone around here knew about superglue and my brother-in-law
was skeptical about the adhesive. I put a drop on his forefinger
and told him to press it with his thumb for some time. Then I
asked him to try to separate them. The look on his face made me
burst out laughing.

Of course the fingers didn't stay stuck together for very long,
for the reasons I gave earlier.

The glue comes off, what it sticks to the finger comes off too.
At least that's been my experience.

Superglue is used in surgery so we don't want it to come off too
quickly!

Uhh, is that what I need to do, pack an activated silica gel pack in a
bag with my super glue?

I use the Loctite container because of it's ease of application and
lifetime, but I have twisted off the nozzle after the glue glues it on.

I have a med that comes with two silca gel plastic containers, the
diameter of a dime and about 3/4" tall.
What's the best way to reactivate them, they're plastic housings.

Silica Gel may be reactivated if put in an electric oven or toaster oven at 200F for 20 minutes (small packs). Longer for larger packs. This may be done many times.

Gas ovens are very moist - electric ovens are not. Never tried in a microwave... wanna be a guinea pig?

Sometimes there is a few colour indicator crystals mixed in , change
colour when dried out, in an oven.
Otherwise plain silica gel crytals , non-intuitively, change colour from
pure white when damp to a vaguely off-white colour when dried out.

I looked up the microwave trick, but my capsules are such that I can't
see the silica and would not know when is is dry or how to test it.
I guess I could just assume it is dry after microwaving a couple times.

weigh until no more reduction, then repeat the "dose" each time

I quit using Super Glue years ago. About the only thing it seems to glue
well, is a persons skin. I've used it on plastics, IT FAILED. I've used
it on wood, IT FAILED. I've used it on metals, IT FAILED. I've used it
on porcelin (like a broken cup), it somewhat held, but did not last
long. I'll stick to glues that WORK, such as epoxy. Partiucularly JB
Weld, that stuff is the best! Super Glue only has one purpose. to fill
space on the shelves in stores. Although I have heard about guys gluing
parts of their body to their girlfriends so the woman cant leave them. I
wont go into detail..... Any guy that desperate needs a lot more than
super glue. Some medical help makes more sense....

If you only glued two fingers together, you'll live.You just have wider
fingers and less of them.... And be sure to buy mittens, not gloves

Piano tuners use it.

The tuning pins on a piano are a friction fit in a wood block.

Over time the holes can become oversized and the pins will slip. You can redrill and fit the next size pin, or even replace the pinblock, but it's a lot of work and expense on an old piano.

It's possible to flip the piano on its back (using the proper tools) and drip a little Super glue into the pinholes. Some people get good results this way and get a little more life out of an old piano not worth rebuilding.

I don't know why you don't have success with superglue, I have many
successful uses.
As far as a two part epoxy, I have been using a product for 35 or 40
years. It started with the name Araldite after a company sale it is now
sold as Fastweld 10.
I broke the crank handle on my radial arm saw and used the Fastweld 10
to fix it. It's been twenty years and still going strong, and it's a
butt joint repair. Hardens in 3 to 5 minutes, 24 full cure.

Super-glue (cyanoacrylate) is not good in shear. But that is not to suggest that it does not hold. So as a friction-enhancer (piano tuning, for example), it would be excellent as any sharp pressure (next tuning) would shear it easily.

Super-glue is excellent for any connections not subject to shear forces, extreme vibration or where the material cannot penetrate somewhat into the substrate. I use it commonly to make O-ring belts for tuning mechanisms or similar - and I have several of those that have been in actual use (Not shelf-queens) for over 15 years. That is a pure tension application.
