Anyone else ever burnt a hole in their kecks, from a drop of
superglue dripping on them ? Heat build up from fineness of
threads or chemical make-up of the cloth?




When I've spilled a drop of superglue on my pants,it just leaves a
dark spot that is hard and inflexible,and that doesn't wash out.

HTP can burst into flames when spilled on dirty fabrics.

Once when repairing the PCB runners on an ABS monitor case, that a
previous
repairer had mucked up with solvent glue, I'd superglued most of the
shattered fragments of ABS back in - but a lot was just crumbs.

What I used to fill the gaps, was cigarette ash and superglue, a
plug of
ash
soaked in superglue is like granite - I noticed that the effect of
ash on superglue was that it set hard instantly, and produced a lot
of heat in doing so!



If the cloth had been touching skin I would have got a burn. Don;t
know what
temp it got to or whether it was smoke or steam rising from the
patch. It turned into a burnt hole with a surround of metal-hard
ex-fabric around. Probably a volume to surface area effect. Cigarette
papers are paassed through a multi EHT discharge process to create
millions? of micro pores in
the paper to assist "draw".
Don't know what my kecks were made from, as label is washed out , but
presumably polyster and cotton fibres.

Once upon a time I watched an engineer spill a large pot of superglue
on his bench
he tried to wipe it up with an old cotton cloth only to find it on
fire and stuck to his hands.
Being helpful I went over and put out the flames and the smouldering
cloth only to find
my feet stuck to the floor!
You would have thought that I would have learnt from this but 10 years
later when someone annoyed me I superglue his shoe laces together,
cotton again and very worrying when your shoes are smouldering and you
can't get them off cause some idiot has glued them.
If you read this Roger "SORRY"




sounds fishy.

what use would anyone have for a LARGE POT of superglue?
You use the stuff in drops.
A large pot would harden up pretty quick,before you could use much of it.

And how do you glue shoelaces when the guy is wearing the shoes??
Crawl under his desk?

A joke I played on a Hooters waitress was to superglue a salt shaker to
the
table,and when she came around to fill the shakers at the end of her
shift,she couldn't get the shaker off the table. We were all laughing so
hard. B-)
Then another regular who thought he was going to be a hero came
over,grabbed it and yanked hard,and it still didn't come loose! I loved
it.
He looked like a fool.
Then the "hero" thought about it,gave it a rap sideways,and it popped
loose.

When superglue first hit the market in the UK, I remember numerous incidents
hitting the news of people getting glued to public bog seats and having to
be carried out with a blanket over them by the fire & rescue service.

I just can't imagine anyone not inspecting the bog seat before sitting down!
