Super glue was originally developed to seal wounds without the need for sutures or bandages. Good use for it!

I've cut myself and quickly dabbed super glue with bandaid several times in my life hahahahaha

Yes indeed. Back when I worked in carpentry, I used super glue to seal dry, cracked skin on my fingers. Worked like a charm.

Amen!

 

I still cut a lot of wood making 12x10 120 square feet barn frames.  Sometimes after just digging 2 inch long splinters from my fingers/hand I have quickly closed those wounds with super glue as well.

Anyone ever clean oil from your hands with a lighter type of oil?

 

 

WD40 works cleaning a lot of things.

Amen, and it will destroy a complete full hornets nest in 30 seconds.   I feel bad watching them suckers suffocating to death, but not as bad when I'm minding my own business and they just decide to sting me anyways hahahahaha

Interesting side story. I worked with a former Amish-Mennonite back in the day. The fellow had a massive beard. We were up on ladders dropping 20' long roof beams in place; I shimmed down to grab the next beam when I noticed that Ronald was still up on the ladder. 

"Enjoying the view?" I asked him. 

"Nah," Ronald replied. "My beard is stuck!"

Lesson: avoid massive beards in construction work.

we don't have a lot of hornets around here.  Mostly Yellow Jackets and red wasps.          I'll have to try it out on those.

Were you hammering the wood into place or drilling?   If you can't back the screws out, what he do, cut his beard?

My advice is do it at night when they're sleeping or better yet at night/day when temperature is around 40 degrees.   They're slower in case you miss and have to get away hahahahaha

We were setting them into position so guys working behind us could drill and then bolt them into place. Ronald hefted his end and liberated his beard. I still laugh about it over 25 years later. 

He tucked the beard into his shirt after that episode.
