to ask you how I can remove my fingers from a clay penguin?

[GeorgianMumto5]

...To which they are bonded with superglue.

Obviously I am stupid, so try to refrain from telling me that. Soap, hot water and a teaspoon handle are having no effect. That's what it says on the bottle. I feel a tit and I"m missing Downton. Please help!

[germyrabbit]

oh blimey i did this once and had to file it off with a nail file

[LadyMaryCreepyCrawley]

have you tried nailpolish remover? Something with acetone.

[TurquoiseFrankenCat]

Nail polish remover?

[TurquoiseFrankenCat]

Ha. X-post!

[RobotLover68]

Yes I just googled it and it says acetone - do it carefully though

[CalaveraCatrina]

"I"m missing Downton"



Is the penguin 15 foot tall?

[tigerdriverII]

Don't suppose you can smash the penguin? I would

[stargirl1701]

White spirit.

[IneedAsockamnesty]

surely its not also stuck to a serfice in a different room as well as your hand?

take it to the tv

[CaliforniaLeaving]

I used nail polish remover, worked great. I had two fingers stuck together though, no penguins involved

[ThreadWatcher]

I'd smash the penguin

How did you manage it op?

[GeorgianMumto5]

Thank you, everyone. Very hot water and fairy liquid did it. Just laughed out loud at CalaveraCatrina. Bloody penguin looks unscathed, despite the fact that one of my fingers and a thumb still have flecks of clay attached to them.

[GeorgianMumto5]

Threadwatcher, ds made it and its flippers fell off, making him cry. I tried to repair it, dropped it, mid-glue, automatically made to catch it...the rest you can guess. I knew it was dangerous stuff. Just shows how easy it is to come a cropper. What an idiot!

[ThreadWatcher]

Glad it's ok now - fingers and penguin

And you can see what's left of downton abbey if any!

[GwendolineScaryLacey]

I'm loving how many of the posts were solutions to the missing Downton bit as opposed to the conjoined penguin issue... :o

[GeorgianMumto5]

[SoleSource]

Do not feel a tit, you may get stuck to that too. Ooh painful.

[juneybean]

Oh I read it as Clay Pigeon and was wondering how this happened.

[Ullena]

I once glued my entire forearm to the dining table whilst preventing one of our cats from gluing his head to the wall...don't ask...could not get loose! DH was out, he got back an hour later, I was still stuck! DH sheepishly confessed he had mixed several different glues to create an extra strong mixture for repairing something. Apparently he hadn't had time to acquire a suitable container, so used a bowl with tinfoil over the top. Of course the cat had tipped this over...if I had gotten loose at that point I may have moiderised him [mad]

[SoleSource]

Lmao! ^

[GeorgianMumto5]

Solesource, good point!

Ullena, I like you - you just made me look almost normal. How did you remove yourself from the table?!?

[SoleSource]

Lol

[MoelFammau]

White spirit dissolves Superglue.

[freddiefrog]

I super glued my forearm to the washing machine. DH unstuck me with white spirits

[ICBINEG]

I know someone that did the whole why is nothing coming out? I will just hold the super glue tube up and peer into the end to see what's wrong stunt with predictable consequences.

As far as I can tell the remedy for super glue in your eye is wait for your eye to sort itself out....certainly no solvents are involved.
