[CAUT] gorilla glue

[Richard Murphy]

HI Don,
    Be careful not to get any on your skin because it will stain your
fingers brown and it doesn¹t wash off, you have to wait until your fingers
grow new skin (about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks).  You put the glue on one surface and
wet the other with water, then fit the parts together and clamp them
strongly because the glue foams up and will push the two pieces apart.  You
will have to clean up the foam from the outside afterwards.  Definitely not
the glue to use on parts that need replacing.
Richard
