This had a precision tip, but I didn’t account for the fact that beads have holes in them ha ha

I was scared that I would glue my fingers again Kim. To be honest, I thought it was kind of funny to have a whole bead vase stuck to my finger.

I use a lot of glue even on kits that don’t really need it because I don’t want to lose little pieces when I move my kits around. I don’t usually use super glue but none of my other glues worked.

That’s why I keep a bottle of acetone beside my work area Jo. Even my glue wipes didn’t work for the superglue lol

Actually, you just reminded me about that. I’ve been meaning to get it to help in my dolls house.

Oh no! :sweat_smile: That’s definitely one of those crafting lessons you only need to learn once. I’m glad you managed to save both your finger and the tiny vase in the end! Thanks for sharing the tip too. I can easily see myself making the exact same mistake, so this is a really helpful reminder. :yellow_heart:

Been there, done that. I now use b7000 instead of super glue and the magnetic clips to hold.

Oh Sue, this happened to me a lot at the beginning when I used the drop-style superglue! It always found a way to run everywhere except where I wanted it :joy:

I only use superglue when all else fails @jeanneL. I usually get a little in my fingers but this is the first time something has actually stuck to me like that ha ha

It’s very annoying Wendy.
(And highly amusing at the same time). April posted a great little video up above and it was very helpful. Superglue is only for when all else fails.
