Default RE: 'Worst Stuck'

Worst:

Back in 79 or 80, I was building a plane and I begged my dad to let me use CA instead of Ambroid. So he did. At the time there was only type available, Hot Stuff and it was what we would consider thin CA, now.

So..........I'm in my room building a Sig Scamp, I think, and that bottle tipped over. I didn't know. All of a sudden, my left arm started to burn, however I was holding something so I couldn't move my arm. Yep, glued my left arm to the building table and plans and all my mother kept saying was "DON'T GLUE YOURSELF TO ANYTHING!!!" I did. I was more upset that if my mom found out what happened, she would not let me use the Hot Stuff any more. So I didn't call for help, I just RIPPED my arm off the table. WOW, so thats what skin looks like on the inside . For about the next week, I wore long shirts, so noone would know I was missing a layer of skin.

Funny:

I will work on my planes in my living room watching TV. Let me give you all a tip. If you work with CA, do not wear boxer shorts. Holding up a plane, gluing something inside, allot of CA dripped......................There are some area's of the male body that has very sensitive skin, and when CA comes in contact with it.........BURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a burn I do not wish on anyone. Picking the CA off becomes a challenge because you I wasn't going after it with polish remover..............wear pants.
