Coming un-glued ....

I mean my fingers.... thankfully ... they were stuck together with super glue... I’m quite good at D I Y .... and fixing and repairing things..., and yesterday I was mending a pair of earrings, a friend of mine bought round, to see if I could fix for her... which I did, using superglue..., but, I’m afraid, I seem to get it all over my fingers, and other things end up getting glued up too ... I usually clear a space, in an effort to minimise the amount of things that get stuck up ... but in spite of my best efforts .. I still have a bit of a cleaning up job to do, when I’m finished ... mainly my fingers... I know I could wear gloves .. but, in my defense, I was working on a small pair of earrings... and, could not use gloves, so, my fingers got glue on them ... so I had to keep changing fingers and hands etc, until I managed to get the earrings to a mini vice, to hold them while they bonded and dried and without bonding to my fingers... then, I waved my fingers in the air ... as if i’d applied nail varnish lol , and then when they were dry I sat and picked off all the bits of glue.... What are you like with glue... do you manage to work cleanly or ... do you get a bit sticky like me...? photo has nothing to do with the post ... just a photo of one of my dads Dhalias
