Got to hand it to you Peter (no pun intended!) but that was the most honest account of stupidity I have ever read about :smiley-laughing:

Don't worry Peter. I'm not mocking you as I too (being human :-\) have done something as stupid whilst modelling also involving glue, which also turned into a comedy of errors as well!!!! :-[

Thanks for being so honest and sharing your mis-hap. Suffice to say if we catch up at TINGS, I will let you know my 'human' moment.

All the best :thumbsup:

If I continue to use the glue gun you will have no problem recognising me beacause I will be covered in sticking plaster and plaster of Paris from the mod-roc!!!!

(Besides I will be wearing my NGF badge with pride)

Regards, Peter.
If it's any comfort Peter, I recently superglued my elbow to the table..... :smackedface:

Well that is infinitely better than my trick of supergluing my bum to the stool!

Excess glue came out and dripped on to my stool without my seeing it and then I sat down, when I stood up the stool followed!!!

WT* I said!

Fortunately it only ripped a hole in my shorts as the weight of the stool removed it from my person!

Errr, why not use PVA ?

Worked for me, as did the WS glue ...

Thankyou for the thought but if I'd had some I might have considered it, but I didn't want to drive 16 miles for some glue! 
You don't have PVA on-hand  :o  Get some  :smiley-laughing:

Seriously, it's very useful (esp. if you still have some risers etc to do).  Put some onto the lower surface of the riser, rub all around and leave alone to go tacky.  Only then put it down (carefully !  Start at one end and position it where you need it to actually be, if not a straight line) and put a weight onto it to help hold in place.

Waiting for it to go tacky means you have less mess, and greater grab - less chance for it to move elsewhere, especially if you're curving it !

Most people would recognise this as a Klingon - no glue required :-X

Thanks for a very entertaining story, it gave me a good chuckle at your expense I am afraid.

However I do suspect there may be a little embelishment in there somewhere, but who cares!

I must admit my mishaps although frequent never quite reach the epic preportions of yours.

Keep smiling :NGaugersRule:

Are you insinuating that I tell lies?  How dare you!

I have the blisters to prove the glue and a lacerated elbow, so there!!!


Steps down from soapbox!    :claphappy: :claphappy:

Speaking from experience eh Mick? :D if you get anymore Klingons you'd better give Captain Kirk and the enterprise a ring :P
