Protocol: after being sure you've got a fit, put a drop of Elmer's Glue on the side of the hole in the lid, spread it around the rest of the circumference with a tiny screwdriver, then take the rubber button, and put a couple of drops of CA glue on the sides which will contact the hole. SMALL drops, one each side. Squeeze out on a satin finish is pretty well there for the duration, especially since it's right next to the rubber button. If you do have squeeze-out, try to wick it up with the edge of a handkerchief, WITHOUT RUBBING. <br> <br> <don't ask me how I know ...><br> <br> Do NOT get some Elmer's on the second joint of your left index finger, and then allow your CA-contaminated thumb to contact that spot. With CA glue alone, one can kind of rip one's fingers apart from whatever they are stuck to, losing only the most superficial layer of skin. Not so if one's anatomy had a smear of Elmer's there first. I don't know why the CA bond penetrates so many more layers of skin with Elmer's in the mix, but it sure does. <br> <br> (The Glue Trick's Revenge?)<br> <br> Luckily I was glued to myself, not to a stationary object, so I walked to the car, got the nail polish remover open (one-handed), poured some on the very firm bond, worked at prying it apart, poured some more, worked some more, poured some more, worked some more, and then I was free without scarring or loss of blood.<br> <br> Set up CA IS soluble in acetone -- sort of. <br> <br> Susan Kline <br> </big></font><br> <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:tnrwim@aol.com">tnrwim@aol.com</a> wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:8CF5E67E4DCFEED-2310-47186@webmail-d137.sysops.aol.com" type="cite"><font color="black" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> <div style="color: black; font-family: arial,helvetica; font-size: 10pt;"> <blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid blue; padding-left: 3px;"></blockquote> </div> <div>First, if Terry can do this with his fingers, his are stronger than mine. Second, I think what he is trying to say, however, that if there is squeez-out, be sure not to get it on your fingers. They will be stuck forever. </div> <div> </div> <div>I had that happen once a long time ago with a key. I CA glued an ivory to a key, holding it in place with my fingers. The phone rang, and 5 minutes later I tried to let go of the key. I had to cut the skin off with a razor blade to separate the two.  Ouch!!!!</div> <div> </div> <div>Wim</div> </font></blockquote> </body> </html>
