Tip of the Day



Super glue / stuck on you

The first glue factory in the United States opened in Boston on this day in 1807. Since then, we've come a long way with high-tech adhesives for every use imaginable. Now, direct from the front lines of military combat, an extremely creative use of today's super-duper hydrocarbon-based ethyl cyan-o-cry-tate resin adhesives (better known as super ?Krazy? glue), comes to your home, your office and your workshop. While the label says to ?avoid contact with skin because instant bonding may occur,? that is precisely why field medics in the war (and later doctors and dermatologists) thought of using it for instant bandages -- to seal and hold everything from paper cuts to serious wounds. If bandages are bugging you by falling off, getting wet and coming loose, do what army medics and hospital doctors sometimes do; let super glue come to the rescue. For more tips, visit our Web site at onthehouse.com. And that's the On The House tip for today.
