Fixing my sgian dubh.

[norfair86]

I have one of those cheap, plastic-handled knives that pass for a sgian dubh, and the blade was a bit loose. Loving super glue as much as I do, I decided it was time to fix that wobble. Not learning from past mistakes, I glued the blade to my finger (as I have done with many other objects, including my desk):




Here you can see the skin that stayed on the blade (sorry for the bad quality):

Acetone often will dissolve 'super-glue' adhesives.

Yeper... but keep the acetone (fingernail polish remover) away from the plastic as much as possible, and wash the blade a bit, after you're done... just in case.

Also, the longer the glue sits, the harder it gets, so don't delay!

Did you find it at all difficult to type your post with that sgian on your finger?

Naaa; I think diet coke can dissolve anything.

That's pretty funny. I usually just glue my fingers together!

I think you're right

Diet Coke is good for cleaning stuff, but I just ripped the knife off my finger
