Speaker 1 (00:03):
I want to know your super glue horror stories. Ben
had one, but I remember back in school we used
to muck around with the clad glue and used to
paste it on in your hand and make it look
like you're melting. Or there was this skin with head webs. Yeah, fingers,
I used to. I mean you used to try to
peel it off the top, and it looked like if
you could get it all in one go. Yes, it

(00:24):
was awesome. I used to do it with the clad glue,
and then I went up to the wood glue, and
then that was a little bit stronger. And then I
made the mistake by gluing something like Tarzan's grip.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
No you did not. I glued and coin to my thumb.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Why it was on the top of my nail. Oh
that wasn't great. But then you had a bit of an.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
Nothing like that. No, not like that.

Speaker 4 (00:50):
I thought I was just doing a bit of a
white job. So my sunglasses, which I already inherited, so
they're already second hand. The frame actually snapped right, yes,
across the top.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Are they expensive sunglasses or they.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
No, they're ray bands. It's worth trying to fix them.

Speaker 4 (01:06):
So I got some glue super glue, and then I
tried to sort of pour the glue out, so you
squeeze the tube, and then it came out a bit
fast when I expected. Yeah, so I got it on
the frame, but also just on the lens.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
So it covers. There's like a.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
Blurry spot on the lens now where I can't get
that off because it's a combination of glue and whatever
tissue or something. I used to try to clean it
and that's stuck immediately. So I mean, the frame's working.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Sure, but I just you can't see out of the
sunglasses now, Can I just blink a lot? I think
there's something in my eyes? Shut one eye.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, that's like the other mistake you do when you've
got glue in your hand and you try to wipe
it off with like a tissue or something.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Oh yeah, I got tissues stuck to me too.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
So we want to know your superglue horror stories. The
worst of the better, But if it's something simple like
you glued your hand to a wooden frame or something,
that'd be great. And how long did it take you
to get off? Asking for a friend, Ada and Carra,
what happened with you?

Speaker 5 (02:02):
And I believe myself to one of my patients. I'm
a vet and I help out doing the captured neutral
release programs. So those of the cats that come in
are not your happy little cats. Yes, in detext and
we don't want them coming back to get stitches out.
So what we use it normally a very small wound
to the bullet. And she was waking up and I

(02:22):
was like, oh, I supposing them a little bit. And
I tried to put the dog the wound and I
still have got stuck. She said, who was waking up
and did not? Says me with a blue gloves hand
stup to his coming to say, she's climbing on me
and got scratches of white marks. Yeah, it was not
a fun day, but she was after twenty years. He

(02:49):
sort of goes, I.

Speaker 6 (02:50):
Should have wow.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
I glue myself to a wood frame. I agglude myself
to a cat, an angry cat, something that finds back, Yes,
sharp claws and it's made of sandpaper, Oh dear, and
from trade heads. What did you get stuck to?

Speaker 6 (03:09):
I glued my fingers to my steering wheel of my
car on my old comby how.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
The bottom of the glue must have come open, and
I was using the super glue to glue something on
the dashboard and I didn't realize and I grabbed onto
the steering wheel.

Speaker 6 (03:29):
And my hand was stuck. I couldn't get it all.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's fine if you're going straight. I guess.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
How did you get it off?

Speaker 6 (03:38):
I yelled at to one of my kids to get
some ice. I tried putting ice on it. That didn't work.
I ended up getting a knife.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
I had cut between the skin and the steering wheel,
and that's the only way I could get it off.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
What were you sticking to the dashboard in the first place?

Speaker 6 (03:58):
Because it's an old comby and there was a little
crack in it, and I thought I'll put a bit
of super glue on the crack further.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Hand on the.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yep yep.

Speaker 6 (04:16):
So I was all right sitting in the car, but
I wouldn't been able to drive very fas No, definitely not.

Thank you and that from Helen's vale. What did you
glee yourself to you?

Speaker 6 (04:28):

Speaker 5 (04:28):
Love? My my friend's dad accidentally picked up super glue
instead of his eye drops and super greedy eyelids together.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
Oh wow, no wo, no, yeah, how how did that go?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
How did yes?

Speaker 6 (04:47):

ear but they managed to un sticky eyelids.
