The plastic lip on the spout of my coffee pot broke when it hit he floor now i can't pour a cup without it going everywhere. I keep seeing super glue being used to close flesh wounds but nothing about it being ingested.
Can i just glue the plastic piece back on and be all set or would that be a bad idea?
Super glue won’t hold in any application that exposes it to water (I believe). I think it’s inert after it sets, but you’ll be back in the same dilemma after you repair the pot with super glue, and possibly with hot coffee burns.
Try it and let us know
Of course you can, just don't use it as a substitute for sugar.........
They glue your incisions closed with crazy glue.
I don’t think you would be ingesting it once it is dry? I wouldn’t put that pot in the dishwasher though.
I’m not a doctor, but I play one on FR.
This wouldn’t happen to be a Mr. Coffee, would it?
My Daughter at age two got ahold of a tube of super glue. She bit into it and said that it burned.
I immediately phoned poison control. He told me that it was not poisonous but would burn. Fortunately she was not actually harmed. Just burned for an instant.
But a new pot ! Geez.
I don’t know but I DO know I’m allergic to the stuff if it makes skin contact...even after drying.
It’s delicious and nutritious, the health conscious choice of millions!
Just don’t smoke it.
Not at all. I consume it regularly.
Keep breaking off pieces until it works.
My late father was a knife maker. He always kept Krazy Glue handy to seal up the inevitable accidents on his hands and fingers.
Super Glue us a cyanoacrylate ester, basically a plastic. It is dissolved in the tube but hardens when exposed to air. It is largely inert and insoluble in water, but the “cyano-” part of its name comes from the same root as “cyanide.” I would not want to ingest it, but that’s probably just paranoia.
Irmgard Holm made a mistake that sounds crazy but actually happens to some patients who have undergone cataract surgery.
The Phoenix woman reached for her eye drops but instead grabbed a similar-looking bottle and put Super Glue in her eye.
The burning sensation that followed let her know that something was very wrong.
"The bottles are identical and I am not young anymore, but I am not senile," Holm told myfoxphoenix.com.
Holm tried washing her eye but soon her eyelid was sealed shut.
Paramedics and hospital staff had to cut away the glue substance.
"I couldn't even see," she said.
Replace it.
Sure but wait for glue to dry before placing to lips....
LOOK OUT.. Poison control batting 500. Never seen it bat a thousand....
