URGENT: Anyone know how to get Krazy glue off of skin?
 

Just as the title says. My left forefinger is currently glued to my left thumb. I was working on a model of a Jaguar XK 120 rally car and the damn bottle fell over and got onto my fingers.

Typing with one hand sucks.



EDIT: Aparently warm water and soap can get my fingers unstuck, but there is still the residue of Krazy glue...

EDIT2: warm water, soap, and a lot of spare time seem to be doing the trick.

ROFLOL!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: that is too fucking funny.

:lol: :lol:

I don't mean to laugh, but thats great. Thats why I quit building models a long time ago when pencils and paper started sticking to my desk.

I always thought it was because you got your hand stuck to your penis.. wait.. no... thats a movie, nm

:lol:

its all good now.

:lol:

Fingernail polish remover, or the more manly acetone. A Steel wire brush works too. :lol: :lol:

You're lucky you just stuck to yourself, and not something metal! :lol:

Just so you don't feel too bad, I'll share my story:

I was building an R/C glider a few years back (around '99, '00 IIRC). I was working on the crucial join between the two wings, so I was holding a 2 meter long wing frame, right at the middle. Unfortunately the glue I was using wasn't going exactly where I wanted it to go, and I didn't notice that it had drooled down all over and under my thumb on the hand I was holding the wings with.

I finally got things glued up and tried to set the wings down and realized that I had *really* glued the crap out of my thumb to the wing. I started laughing about it, since I knew it was gonna take an hour or so to exacto myself free. And that's when the chemical burn started.

Crazy glue can be pretty bad in small amounts, but when you get a lot on your skin, you're fucked. That glue heated up somthing fierce as it reacted with my skin and the wood of the wings. I thought about smashing the wing off my thumb so I could douse it in the bathroom sink (which wouldn't have done any good), but since I spent a month building it, I just took the burn.

I tried cutting myself free right away, except the pain hurt so much my knife hand was shaking, and I couldn't safely cut. So I waited. Worst 10 minutes evAr.

Finally when things calmed down, I was able to go about cutting my thumb free. I had to leave a good layer of skin on the plane. When I was finally free, my thumb was the bright pink of fresh skin, except for the deeper blisters from the 2nd degree burns. The wings had my thumbprint clearly glued on it.

I eventually sanded all the skin and excess glue off the wings, and my thumb healed completely in a few weeks. But I'm much more careful with super glue now.

That hurt just reading about it. :lol:

Scott, i didn't kow you were into RC gliders. I have 10 or so in my garage with varying amounts of super glue fingerprints built into them as well.

I haven't flown them in about 10 years, but keep threatening to get a couple new radios and fart around with them again.

Kind of like Frisbee Golf we never got around to playing last year. Did we? Or did you guys just go without me? :cry:

Remind me to tell you the story about getting my huge 11' wingspan fiberglass plane sucked into a cloud!

Scott, ow.

That's awesome Dean! Next time I'm in the bay, I'll grab my glider and radio to bring back here. We should go flying! ..wait, when are we gonna have time for that? Screw it, I'll bring it back anyway... then all I need to do it repair the damage from my last crash (tree != safe landing).

I got an R/C plane too, but it's never been flown.

Gas or Electric?I did gas for a while, but they are to messy. I have an electric glider I flew a lot, and an electric stunt plane that is way to small, fast and jittery for my taste. Like an X-Mod in the air. no room for errors since you can't see it at any real altitude.

Dean, your quote inclusions don't look like they work.
nevermind, maybe it was my eyes.

The plane's gas (a .40 2-stroke) with a 2 meter wingspan. It's a trainer w/ a high wing, so it's supposedly easy to fly, but the field I joined closed the weekend before I got the plane for my 14th b-day. :(

The glider's a 2 meter polyhedrial. I've got an electric lift motor for it, but I only used it with the motor once before crashing it into that tree. Usually I'd fly off hills and climb thermals or ground-effect updrafts.

I fixed it.Deleted a '"' by mistake. Gotcha...
