Letter: Finger-sticking good

Published 3 November 2001

From Michael Kellock

It really is good news to learn of the superglue that dissolves at 90 to 130 °C
(6 October, p 24).
Next time I glue two fingers together, I’ll just soak
them in boiling water for a few minutes. If that doesn’t work, I can boil up a
pot of oil or even raspberry jam and soak in that. Then off to hospital for an
extensive rebuild, I guess.
