Pluggers by Rick McKee for February 09, 2024

Ah, yes! The old Tim The Toolman Taylor syndrome. Have had a bout or two myself but I’m doing ok.

Stops the bleeding on cuts I’ve heard.

It looks like he lost a tooth, and he thinks he can replant it using superglue.

If you pick your nose, and you end up with a booger stuck between two fingers, you’re a plugger.

I don’t think so ….

Nothing some acetone won’t take care and the missus should have some for nail polish removal. My wife doesn’t use nail polish so I keep a can of acetone on hand. It also is a great solvent for removing other things too.

And, a good one if it’s only two fingers stuck together. Apprentice pluggers get whole hands stuck to other parts of the body.

I recommend gorilla glue for shoes.

The very first time I used SuperGlue (Eastman 910), I stuck the pin closing the bottle between my lips. Acetone tastes horrible.

Just like the liquid skin used to help close surgical wounds. It works really well.

True.

and it doesn’t hafta be two fingers. it could be one or two fingers stuck to tthe item you were gluing

In a glass class, the staff was betting on who would stick themselves together first with the super glue. Me or a 9 year old girl. I won.

Not necessarily. You’re just someone who used super glue to fix something. It happens to everyone!

We find the opposite problem. Superglue works no better than other glue we try for various projects – which is to say – does not work at all.
