Tip of the day

I have never used super glue uncured before, works good at debonding super glued parts. It could really come in handy in assembling resin model kits. Just apply a little bit to the joint, give it a few minutes, and the parts come loose easily. Clean up with just a paper towel afterwards. One bottle should last a life time.

Early in my marriage, my wife had a painful fingernail split. We talked through ideas to relieve her pain then decided to hold the two sides of the split together with my hobby superglue. I applied the glue to her nail in the living room where she was watching TV. Before going back to my hobby room, I left her with the instruction to leave it alone because it will take minutes to dry (ask me how I know hahaha). Within 5 minutes she was at my door sheepishly with her finger stuck to her nail. She had been stuck for minutes, yet did not want to ask for help since she had been warned. However, the two were not going to separate without a significant amount of pain and loss of skin from her finger pad. Thankfully, I had a bottle of "Debonder" from another brand but probably very similar. It worked like a charm and within seconds we had her finger free where I was able to clean and glue it again. She left it alone that time LOL and it has became a story we like to laugh about now :-)

One of many times where hobby supplies has really helped my family out!

Vaseline works, too. That's what they would use in the ER. It just takes a bit longer.

Great tip - and a great hobby shop. Bought from Burbank may times.
