From a clumsy old lady: is there a product that works as well as Krazy
Glue without gluing my fingers together? And once I've glued my fingers
together I don't have much luck unsticking with nail polish remover (as
tube suggests). Thanks for any help you can suggest.

you need acetone. your nail polish remover is probably acetone-free, which
won't work.

what are you attempting to glue? that is pertinent to what type of adhesive
to use.

What are you trying to glue - that is, what kind of materials?

Acetone? On your skin?.

Why not? Removes all oils. But do not smoke at the same time.

Well, I think it probably would suck in a martini ...

You can get tubes and extensions for the glue bottles that might help you
keep your fingers out of the way. Ask at the local craft store, or look up
a hobby shop.

You might try one of the Tester's products. For plastics, there's the
water-based model cement, and they make a wood cement too. I've never used
the wood cement. They're available in the toy models section at most big
stores.

Wear disposable gloves when working with it.

When I work with this stuff, I wear non sterile surgical gloves.

Once the glue has cured, an X-acto knife is about the only way to
separate your fingers if you are in a hurry.

If you have a little patience, your skin's natural oils will cause the
glue to break loose from your skin.

The little extension tubes for CA glue always seem to clog up.
Acetone is the best way to get the glue off your fingers, you just
don't want to wash your hands in it every day. And gloves are best
for keeping your hands glue free. That way when you spill a full
bottle of CA while trying to open a stuck nozzle all over your hand
you don't have to wonder how you get the "glue handcuffs" off by your
self! Gloves don't feel pain!

And just how many hours have you practiced in front of the mirror developing
that look of innocence?

I usually clear mine out before removing it by squeezing the bottle. (The
tube is pointed somewhere safe, like a cardboard box.) That works two or
three times. After that, you might get lucky and have it clog near the
end where you can snip off the end of the tube. Sometimes running a thin
wire through also unclogs it.

Here's a couple of superglue tips. Keep it in the freezer and it
doesn't cure/clog.

Also don't squeeze the tube (unless you need a huge amount). As it
warms, it seems to flow like water and in my experience enough comes
out without squeezing for most jobs. Just tilt the tube and let
gravity do the work. Little implements like toothpicks can be handy.

Oh yes, wear gloves and have cleanup rags. I'm sure most people have
had a "Wile E Coyote" moment with cynoacrilate at some time. (I know I
have)
