DH stuck to fly paper

[JesusInTheCabbageVan]

Any ideas how to get the stickiness off him?

No idea but you've made me laugh. Sorry. Poor man, hope it's not stuck in his hair.

He's tried a few things and it's not working, and he's going to see Mission Impossible in a few minutes.

He might get some clues there

Its an adhesive so possibly nail varnish remover or vinegar?

An oil may also work ( i.e. baby oil)

Just his hands, thankfully. He seems to have achieved some success with WD40, but it keeps coming back apparently.

Nail polish remover might work as long as he doesn't use too much & overpower the cinema.

Wd40? The oil would break down the glue.

Ah cross post

Oh, he's done it again now. It was on his clothes and he got re-stuck when he tried to get changed.

Funny thing is, it's been up for two months and hasn't caught any flies at all.

Vegetable oil will release him 😂

he's going to see Mission Impossible in a few minutes
In that case give in to it. Stick some to his back and he can suspend himself from the ceiling of the cinema. It’ll be like an interactive experience that way.

@Judashascomeintosomemoney that really made me laugh!

The flies have been conspiring against you & put a mysterious substance on the fly paper which has now turned him into a fly-man. The "stickiness" he's experiencing is actually what lets flies climb walls - that's why it keeps coming back. Has he tried climbing the walls? It might just take him a while to get used to his new superpower.

are you married to Jeff Goldblum?

Randomly I discovered that Avon's original Skin So Soft spray removes this the other day. I found myself in a similar situation and when I googled it suggested cooking oil which I didn't have but I did have a bottle of the Avon stuff so I sprayed it all over my hands and washed them under cold running water. It worked a treat!

Mrshomeslice, damn, you beat me to the punchline

Pity he didn't go see Ant Man & The Wasp....

A plain oil such as baby, olive or sunflower will unstick your DH.

Will show him this thread. Love the suggestion of suspending himself from the ceiling.

Not Jeff Goldblum sadly, just someone who is excellent at injuring himself in (mostly) minor but interesting ways. This is a quiet day for him.

He did actually think about going to Ant Man and the Wasp. Might have been a bit of a buzz-kill though (see what I did there)

Has he tried sex lube yet?

Friend did this. Washing up liquid sorted it!

There’s no flies on him!
