Epic Win: Krazy Glue
Submitted by katsak
Krazy Glue was so dangerous as a kid. I put some in my sisters hair and… well, let’s say that did not go over so well with my parents. Anybody else abuse Krazy Glue?

It turns out you guys are extraordinarily cruel.

I glued my boss’s favorite coffee cup to his desk. He took an hour prying it loose so he would not break it.

ROFLMAO.I once glued my jeans to my leg accidentally. I forget what i was doing, but it involved my car. Once you get over the burning sensation, you’re good.

I injected it into my boss’s car doorlocks. (the guy was an idiot and it was my last day anyway, and they never found out who did it!)
Somebody dared me to put it on my fingers.
Pfft…I managed to pull them apart no prob…I think it’s because of the oils in the skin or something.
I know the fumes make fingerprints pop up on skin due to the oils….I saw that on Court TV (I’m sorry TruTV) a long time ago.
If you get it on your fingers, DO NOT LET THEM DRY TOGETHER!!!
Or if you inadvertently do, post the video of you trying to pry them apart on youtube…
But seriously, nail polish remover with acetone in it will get it off your fingers.
Uhm… how is Krazy Glue “nostalgic?” It’s still around…
Who didn’t abuse Krazy Glue? Accidentally, that is. I lost most of a thumbprint when I was younger. I wasn’t young enough to be considered a kid, but I was old enough to know better. Maybe the fumes got to me. Yeah, that’s it. The fumes.
There is no abuse of Krazy Glue (or cyanoacrylate, if you mean the type and not the brand), in the same way there is no abuse of duct tape. It’s all good.
That said, I use it mostly for sealing myself when I slice open a hand while working on a kit. Those scalpels are some sharp :/
Ah, nice to see no “do not try suspending yourself with Krazy Glue” warning!
thats because it was tottally safe to suspend yourself with Krazy glue; so there need not be a warning
My sister has glued both hands to her desk once. She had to wait until I got home from school to free her.
i used it yesterday to make it look like i’d been stapled in the forehead. (it was injury day at the school where i work.) subtle zombie says: brainz plz?
I glued the plastic thingie back on a cupboard handle and my daughter came up and asked me what I was doing and I told her I was using Krazy Glue to glue the handle back together so she grabbed the handle and glued her hand to it. She was (and still is) totally traumatized by that because I was laughing so hard I couldn’t get her loose right away. Bad Mommy, bad Mommy!!!
I guarantee you that when she’s older, she’ll look back on it fondly – because Mommy laughed instead of yelling at her
Because mommy laughed before yelling at her.
the best use for krazy glue is, hands down, sealing cuts. I sliced my right arm down the entire length (deep enough to see the fat underneath the skin) and my college health center wouldn’t stitch it up. Krazy glue sealed the skin up, and with a little tape and gauze, I made it without stitches. win!
It gets used in combat for just that – field suturing.
IIRC, that is what it was originally intended to do.
Was there no emergency room nearby? Did that scar up badly?
Blast from the ass
We used to glue quarters to the floor in school and watch classmates (and sometimes faculty) try to pick them up.
Hell yea! Used to love doing that and thinking how bad ass I was

Oooh, that gives me an idea to punish the jerk who lives beneath me and plays his idiotic loud club music until all hours of the night…
Well, now that you posted it on the internet, I’m sure they’ll figure it out. It couldn’t have happened to too many bosses on their employee’s last day. They’ll send yo the bill.
You’d be surprised. lol
I guess that it is always possible that they don’t read this site, but there is always Google.
In 5th grade, a girl on my bus poured this stuff in my hair… At the time I had my face against the back of the seat in front of me, the stuff dripped onto my face and my face stuck… Also, I had to get my hair cut short… I now have a phobia of Krazy Glue, Super Glue, Gorilla Glue, etc.
Recent news stories indicate you can also get revenge on an unfaithful lover by Crazy Gluing his genitals.
Wan’t that also a bit on “Two and a Half Men”?
It was also in the movie “Sordid Lives”–the character is known as the “Glued D**k Girl.”
I’ve used it to kill cockroaches in South America before, but only do this on tile!!!

I was making a science fair project and I needed to glue a plastic bowl to a styrofoam block. The krazy glue just soaked into the foam, so to provide a place to glue, I heated a screw and put it in the styrofoam. I then proceeded to drop Krazy Glue on the hot screw… where it instantly vaporized and I inhaled a nice double lungful of cyanide vapor. The effect was instantaneous and terrifying: a terrible, stabbing pain in my lungs followed by gasping and choking for 20 minutes. I now empathize with gas chamber victims a little more than most people… Punchline is: I won first place in the science fair. Booya!
And the lesson for the day. let surface cool before applying.
Or, you know, you could have put the glue on the bowl and then glued the block to it…
Ironically enough, this stuff was invented way back in the sixties during the Vietnam war.
Ever wonder why it bonds skin instantly? Well there’s a reason for that. Krazy Glue is a type of adhesive called Cyanoacrylate Adhesive, or CA. CA reacts with water, forming a chemical reaction that produces heat and instantly bonds whatever it’s touching. When you use it to fix something, the CA reacts with the water in the air.
But why does it bond skin? Well you see when this stuff was originally designed and invented, it wasn’t as glue. CA was invented as liquid stitches. It was intended to be used by field medics and surgeons to bond tissue together when stitches either couldn’t be had or weren’t practical. In fact, if you ever get “invisible” stitches, CA, or Krazy Glue, is what they use.
Is that safe to use like that? Isn’t it toxic?
Nope. It’s perfectly harmless.
I see…
Unlike Earth, which is Mostly Harmless…
Always thought that shoulda read “*Was* mostly harmless”
Even after the Dolphins brought it back?
last year in a rugby game i busted my head open adn we used krazy glue to close the inch gash, waited for it to dry and went back in. krazy glue is great
I noticed it saying you can buy krazy glue at A&P. I think A&P should have it’s own nostalgic win entry. Are those stores even still around? (not where I live at least…)
I was playing a part in a community theater play when I was about 12 that didn’t have much stage time. During the downtime I would sit backstage and wait. One evening, I had sat on the floor with my arm on the wooden chair next to me while reading through the script. A few minutes before my cue I stood up and realized that my arm and palm had been glued to the seat of the chair! Talk about painful, since the stage manager was gesturing to me to go onstage and when they realized I was stuck, just came over and ripped the chair off me.
Someone had been gluing a prop together using the chair as a table and spilled the majority of the tube onto the seat. That was a VERY long night.
I had to have open heart surgery (yay giant tumors) a couple of years ago, and the surgeons explained to me beforehand that they would essentially be super gluing my skin shut.
One Halloween I was wearing a dress that was slit way high up the thigh. For seductive effect I wore thigh-high stockings with lacy tops that would just peak out through the slit. Well, the stockings wouldn’t stay up so I had the brilliant idea of crazy glueing the tops to my legs. It worked for about half an hour when in the middle of a very public place my skin gave way instead of the glue. I was so miserably sore for the next week.
Krazy Glue abuse incidence does not decline with age…my friend Krazy Glue’d her hand to her desk while trying to make everyone Golden Snitch Christmas ornaments like 2 weeks ago…oh, what happy memories.
