I just thought I would share my embarrassing moment with you guys now that my friends have heard about it and laughed their heads off!
I have a large glass dinig room table with a heat protective mat that i use when I decide to do a little painting. I thought I would glue the head onto my skeletal minotaur and paint it up. Sounds all well and good.....so I glue the figure onto the base, and glue that onto an upside down glass to hold onto it. All well and good so far. I then put a little more glue onto the neck, and push the head onto it, resting my right arm onto the table. Now here comes the problem. At some point in this, my superglue had spilt everywhere....on the table, on the glass etc. So I put down the glass...no I don\'t....my thumb is attached. I move my right arm.....no I don\'t....it\'s attached to the table! I managed to peel my thumb off of the glass relatively easily, then(rather stupidly I now realise) went to rub it against my finger to rub the glue off, like you can with PVA. No I don\'t....I\'ve just glued my fingers together
5 minutes later I have my fingers free and I grab my portable phone to ring a friend to come round with some nail varnish remover. Unfortunately they have just arrived at a friends house 2 hours away. Now, I can\'t get mine, because I\'m still attached to the table, and it is just a little to heavy to move anywhere! I had to pick my way free (it took 2 1/2 hours!) and I now have a nice bald patch on my right arm.
There are two morals to this story:
1. Have some nail varnish remover near your painting stuff.
2. Maybe I should try pinning things!
I haven\'t dared go near that figure yet!
Hope you enjoyed, and please feel free to add your own story so I am not too lonely
