Many years ago, one of my first experiences with CA glue, left me holding on 
to a key for a long time.  I put the ivory on with CA glue, and used my thumb 
and forefinger as clamps, while I answered the phone.  When I tried to put 
the key down after five minutes, it wouldn't let go.  This was before we were 
warned to always keep a solvent around somewhere.  Needles to say, I had to 
use a razor blade to cut the skin off my finger to remove the key.
It still hurts, just to think about it.
