    I waxed my legs with Gorilla Glue today

    I gluing a part back onto our hose reel today with Gorilla Glue. I finished the job and went on to something else. A few hours later, I was sitting down with my daughter, and saw 3 spots where the glue and dripped onto my legs. Well, it came off, but so did a lot of my hair, which was of course, fairly painful.

    Just thought I would share that with you.

    My older brother superglued my hand to a doorknob when I was a kid. I remember going to the doctor's office with a doorknob in my hand. Pretty embarrassing... I think it came off pretty easily, though, in capable hands. Maybe they used acetone? I'm not sure...

    Anyway, that's my glue story. =)

      My glue story involves a hot glue gun. The gun oozed out a small blob of very hot glue without provocation as I was positioning for application. The blob landed on my hand right out of the dispenser so the glue was mighty hot (not even a second of cooling). In the painful panic that ensued, I instinctively attempted to "brush" it off. I wasn't very successful in getting the glue off. I managed to remove skin, however, and sustained a nasty burn.

            Same thing here, only it involved my hairy leg, right from the gun. Not sure which was more painful the hot glob landing or the removal of the hair and skin.

              And women do this on purpose and in some pretty darn sensitive areas. Yeeeouch!!! No wonder the French abandoned it long ago - doesn't explain the lack of deodorant, though!

                I got gorilla glue on my lips a few weeks ago.

                Didn't glue em together. But it felt really weird.

                    I can think of two ways that could have happened
                    (a) he kiss-a$$ed a gorilla that was glued to it's couch
                    (b) he kissed a gorilla that just ate glue

                    sorry, could not resist - no offense meant...

                      Amazingly, I did not notice the potential for dirty jokes when I posted that.

                      To set the record straight, the gorilla was a perfect gentleman and even called me the next day.
