Super-Gluing skin to an object is not a prank - it’s assault.

Saran-tape on the toilet, is a prank.
Vaseline on the lid of the bowl, is a prank.
Filling a hair dryer with foot powder is a prank
Gluing a quarter to the sidewalk is a prank.

Anything that is intended to cause harm, is NOT a prank. It’s not that difficult to see the difference.

Super glue drys really fast. The guy must have seen the perp exit the bathroom. Not much of a time interval between the setup.

I don't think it climbs to that height. Some years ago I was asked by my M-I-L if I knew of anything that would remove "super glue". I answered warm water would eventually break down the bond but it takes a rather long time (weeks maybe months) for that to happen. Her inquiry caused me to look deeper for something quicker acting. I asked a friend of mine who was an ER Doctor and he said they used a dull scalpel blade to work along the bond line an just pry the bond line apart a little at a time. That seemed rather primitive so I checked a hobby store that sold model airplane kits and the clerk tossed me a bottle and said "here you go". The answer is a product called "JET DE-SOLV". It is flammable and you should avoid breathing the vapor and also keep it away from your eyes. The manufacturer is Carl Goldberg Models Inc, of Chicago IL. A 1oz bottle go for around $4 at most hobby shops. It works in a minute of two and cleans up with warm soapy water.

Regards,

PS It's proven over the years to be good practice to look before you sit and super glue is only one reason!
