Not to make light of it, but this reminds me of a Rodney Dangerfield joke about how his son, as a ‘gag’, used to put crazy glue in his Preparation-H tube.

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?

Actually it should hold up pretty well to limited water. total long term submersion is bad though and will probably cause a failure.
I just reviewed the Safety Data Sheet and don’t see anything to cause concern.
There’s a product called Rapid Fuse from DAP Products you may want to use. It gives you about 30 seconds to line up your repair then sets. (full disclosure-I work for them)
Wear latex gloves and have plenty of light so you can see your repair. Depending how bad the break is, it may not be repairable but give it a shot.
Hamilton Beach
Just bought it off of amazon for 28 bucks last month.
Works pretty good.
I was thinking the same..
Cyanoacrylate glues (super glue) set with exposure to water vapor, so no, they are fine in water environments. In fact superglues are often used in surgery to glue cuts together in place of sutures. Cyanoacrlate glue is often used in dentistry, where it is frequently exposed to fluids and temperature and they are not poisonous in reasonable usage. We frequently use them in my office.
Liquid Skin for cuts is a super glue, and yes it burns when you put it on. . .
I have had great success in wet environments with JB-Qwik. I have a humidifier that required repair on the feeder port that sits in water constantly. That was 5 years ago and it has not failed.
Now, the stuff is dark grey when it dries but they do make a clear version...but it takes two hours to dry. The JB-Qwik dries in about 5 minutes. Not sure if the JB ClearWeld comes in a "Qwik" version.
I’ve never had much luck getting super glue to stick anything together other than my fingers. Actually that’s not quite true. It has worked pretty well for me on porous materials like a balsa wood model airplane I built as a kid. But on non-porous stuff, especially with a smooth surface, it’s like it’ll just sit there and not cure.
Alright this sounds sick but when i was a kid we were lucky enough to have the neighborhood shabby dump house right across the street.
Two alcoholic parents and a wild unsupervised kid a few years younger than me.
they also had a grungy white French poodle roaming around.
One day the kid thought it would be hilarious if he dripped super glue onto......yea, the dogs butt.
I can’t remember the outcome of that one.
An interesting neighborhood i grew up in...
Just buy a new carafe otherwise every time you use the thing you’ll be unhappy at its imperfections.
Tying this poison thread together with the recent news on Dem-Russia collusion via the Ukraine...
"Many Ukrainians believe you need look no further than the face of Viktor Yushchenko to understand Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
Once smooth and ruggedly handsome, it still bears the scars from an assassination attempt when someone slipped dioxin into Yushchenko's food. ..."

"British toxicologist Professor John Henry of St Mary’s Hospital in London declared the changes in Yushchenko’s face were due to chloracne, which results from dioxin poisoning.[17]
Dutch toxicologist Bram Brouwer also stated his changes in appearance were the result of chloracne, and found dioxin levels in Yushchenko’s blood 6,000 times above normal.[18]
On December 11, Dr. Michael Zimpfer of the Rudolfinerhaus clinic declared that Yushchenko had ingested TCDD dioxin and had 1,000 times the usual concentration in his body.[19]

Yes, I’ve sealed many cuts with it, but you have to keep it blood free. If any leaks out while the glue is setting, you have to clean it and try again.
Wow, that was indeed one sick lil’ bastard.
Super glue induced constipation might be terminal
Wow! Thanks for that. Because, at least up until recently, I had been using Crazy Glue to keep an artificial tooth in place!
if your repair does not work you can probably buy a generic pot at Wallyworld that will fit. Under 5 bux, iirc.
“JB Weld clear version”
I use that stuff. Tough as nails. I put the new F-150 key on my keyring (darn thing’s about the size of a one of those old Samsung clamshell cell phones), right next to the Mustang key. The Mustang key ($150 to replace) eventually broke at the keyring hole. Used the JB Weld epoxy...Mustang key is good as new.
I would be more than willing to try it in a wet scenario. Definitely before I tried crazy glue.
Super glue is used as a suture substitute and is biocompatible with the human body.
