Worse, the paper literally erupted with thick, white smoke!

From the MSDS for Loctite's brand of CA glue:

BURNS
 

KevSteele:

I did a little googling, and ran across a couple of other super glue burn stories - all the same thing, too: spilled bottle, and paper towels or TP, bonded to fingers causing smoke and chemical burns.

Live and learn, I suppose.

Oh, and I know that super glue dries clear (if undisturbed during drying). My idea was to blow on it during drying, as the moisture in your breath can cause super glue to turn milky. Normally this is a bad thing (when filling in chips on a playfield), but it seemed like a good idea for this project.

A true "it seemed like a good idea at the time" moment!

Didn't know that.

thetered:

if you have enough of it to spare than could you possibly mix in something with it like milk? just kidding, but something to cloud it up, I am coming up blank for ideas of what to try though.
