WD-40 is some help. It also removes gum. Naphtha is good for that too. The kind in a quart can like paint thinner. ---

How on Earth does Superglue make your finger move two inches and hit a different key? Why don’t you just hit ‘s’ carefully? Or am I being whooshed here? ---

No joke. I didn’t swallow the stuff. Just gargled, and damn! It worked. I’m typing again like a 2-toed sloth. 😃😃😃 I did have Super Glue on my fingers. I washed and washed and it’s mostly gone away. Hope you took it in the spirit intended. ---

I’ve wondered at times whether I always buy crappy glue or whether I have teflon skin. I’ve never quite comprehended the issue with people gluing themselves together. I’ve goofed around with crazy glue many times, and almost as many times ended up with some on my skin, and not quite as many times as that “glued” my fingers together. So?! I just peel them apart again. What’s the problem?
