Somehow the contact cement got some on its threads last time I used it, because I had to but out a huge set of pliers to open the container today. It’s like rubber cement on steroids.
Then, while gluing leather to wood, I glued my fingers to the wood pretty thoroughly. Still working on cleaning it up.
Anyone got any glue disasters to share? I need to know I’m not the only one.
Rapidfuse fuses rapidly. Leave it at that. 
If you can screw it up with CA I’ve done it, up to and including fire.
Perfect fingerprint (with genuine DNA) bonded to a hobby mat with CA.
Aren’t we going to hear about the glitter incident? Or did it not involve glue…
Am I the only person who is careful enough with glue to have never glued myself to something?
Let me also say that it’s called hot glue for a reason.
Wasn’t that embossing powder, or was there a glitter incident as well?
No good glue mishaps, but silicone…
At the job I worked in high school they said, here make some of these. These were two transistors you soldered together and then soldered two wires to them. When that was done you put the transistor assembly into a little yellow tube and squeezed some silicone into it from a tube. Easy enough. One of the silicone tubes was being extremely difficult, but that just meant it needed more pressure. After I don’t remember how many of these things suddenly the tube went flat. The back end had burst open and the center of my sweatshirt was covered in a giant glob of silicone. Wipe it off. From that day forward I had a waterproof shield in the center of that sweatshirt. No amount of washing could damage it.
ROFL…I’d forgotten about that one… 
(I think some of it eventually wound up in the glue I was trying to mix it into…)
Probably. But I clearly recall when you set up your Glowforge and showed a picture of its new space, apologizing for the mess. All evidence since that time has indicated that you not a common man. This is no insult… and if I would believe it of anybody it would be you. You’re tidy, careful, organized, and evidently careful with glue.
When you work with CA (and I have for 20 years or so), it only takes one “incident” to ensure you keep acetone within reach at all times. In later years, little glue “caddies” became commonplace in hobby workshops, and a spot for acetone was always included…
Quite possibly. 
Hahaha! Yes, I have left a few DNA markers around. It wasn’t apparent until I tried to let go of the item…
Thanks for the laugh!
Oh. I have lots of horror stories. Sticking my fingers together with hot glue was my unhappiest. I’m much better at using it, now.
Is it still an accident if you use the ca to glue a cut?
If what you are implying is that I am insufferably fussy, you are entirely correct.
That is why it was invented.
We suffer you just fine 
No implication of fussy intended.
Fastidious is a nice word. Careful.
Some might call me stubborn or mulish or worse. Personally I like steadfast and persistent.
