Surprising I've never done it before . Thumb and second finger firmly

to either side of a connecctor. I tried methylated spirits first but no
effect seemingly. Then dilute acetone as nail varnish remover. I was
concerned about being too long on the skin so some cotton wool balls of
acetone around both areas and a Q-tip soaked in acetone, with a rotating
wedge-like motion, cautiously wedging skin from connector worked, but

anyone
elses experiences/advice for the next time? Anyone ever glued one hand

to
the other ?


If you had posted to one of the model plane club groups you would have
felt very much at home - in that hobby it is endemic

David - with glue free fingers at the moment



I think I will try introducing a dot of dye to the next tube I open ,as well
as store in airtight bottle with silica gel. Won't be able to change the
viscosity (lack of) but at least I might be able to see it. I was melding
part of one socket into another to make a match to a non standard plug and a
nice tight fit but that super capilliary action took the unknowing excess of
glue about half an inch travel to where there were holes to the outside,
where my fingers were.
