Yesterday, I had a bit of a scary moment.  I needed to glue something together, so I found my bottle of Hot Stuff (fast setting cyanoacrylate adhesive, commonly known as Super Glue).  I took off the black cap, put the tip to the piece I was gluing, and squeezed.  Nothing.  I wasn't in the shop and didn't feel like going back down to unplug the tip, so I unscrewed the lid.  I know that this stuff is very viscous, so I figured that I could pour some into the underside of the tip, then dip the part into the glue.

So I did that, and as I dipped the part in, I inadvertently tipped the bottle and poured about 1/2 oz over my hands and onto the concrete ground. Thinking quickly, I put everything down and spread my fingers apart.  By flexing my fingers, I could tell when the glue had set.  It gave off some heat, but not much.  Now that the glue on my hands had dried (my left hand was well-covered and I couldn't move my last two fingers), I pulled my right hand into my sleeve so I didn't glue my hand to the part and put the part in place.  Then I stood up.  And found that my shoe had been glued to the concrete sidewalk. But the concrete, being porous, didn't create a strong bond so I was lucky.  I put the cap on the Hot Stuff and tried to pick up the bottle.  Only it too was stuck to the side walk.  A little brute force and it gave way.

I used a rag to wipe up the Hot Stuff I'd spilled on the sidewalk as best as I could (it had pooled, so it didn't dry instantaneously.  I went inside and soaked my hands in hot water (CA isn't very resistant to moisture or heat) and scrubbed and flexed my fingers.  After ten minutes, there was a huge improvement in my ability to use my hands.  Currently, I still have a thin layer on parts of my hands, but full flexibility.  Whew!
