Can you spare a tube of glue remover?

According to an incident report filed at the Banks County Sheriff's Office, a woman found herself glued to a toilet seat after using the restroom at the Home Depot store in Banks Crossing last week. Someone allegedly put glue on every toilet seat in the women's restroom. Unfortunately, the woman didn't realize this until she was already stuck.

When the Free Republic was 'new', whenever a post received a response, that post was 'bumped' to the top of the listed posts - irrespective of when it was first posted. Thus the phrase 'bump to the top,, or 'BTT', or 'bump'. It probably has been at least ten years since this was last the case, but 'bump' remains in the lexicon. Probably now more of a marker when someone wants to check our the post later.
Can you spare a tube of glue remover?
I won’t use a public toilet unless it’s an emergency.
“I mean, somebody puts glue on the seat, then some time later somebody sits on it. Wouldn’t the glue be dry by then?”
No, it acts like a time delay adhesive when a rather thick layer is used.
From Wiki:
“In general, cyanoacrylate is an acrylic resin that rapidly polymerises in the presence of water (specifically hydroxide ions), forming long, strong chains, joining the bonded surfaces together. Because the presence of moisture causes the glue to set, exposure to normal levels of humidity in the air causes a thin skin to start to form within seconds, which very greatly slows the reaction.”
Then when bare skin hit it, it bonds instantly.
Really I mean how much of a rush are you in if you sit on a public toilet, feel something wet and slimy on the seat and stay there for 2 minutes so the glue can cure?
Just remember ladies, hover like a sumo wrestler and you won’t sit in pee or have your butt cheeks welded to the jakes!

5 seconds or less. The instant reaction to jump up is tempered by the instant pain of skin being ripped off one’s butt.
If y’all think super glue takes a long time to cure, get some super glue and some acetone based nail polish remover. Put a tiny bit of glue on the inside of your pinky and ring fingers, touch them together ever so briefly and see what happens. You will soon know why I also suggest having acetone handy.
You will also understand why superglue has surgical and battlefield medical use.
I welded a few to the pillows back in my prime but never to a crapper seat in some store’s can.
No...Butt...it would have been a good way to remove her from the seat. :)
True but there is a product (Jet DE-SOLV™) debonding agent. Used to loosen and remove cured cyanoacrylate adhesive from skin and other places inadvertently stuck together. Manufactured by CARL GOLDBERG Products LTD, 4734 W CHICAGO AVE Chicago Illinois, 4734 W CHICAGO AVE, Chicago, Illinois 60651, USA.
I bought a 1 FluidOz bottle some years ago and it still works great. I've never found any thing else that dissolves CA. The above manufacturer is still in business but does not have a web page. I don't know if they still make the DE-SOLV but I'd certainly give it a try if you use CA and tend to stick your fingers into the broken crockery.

PS When I was looking for a product that debonded CA I checked with local hospitals emergency rooms and yes, getting your tush stock to a toilet seat is a fairly common occurrence, and they didn't know of any chemical that would loosen the CA, their accepted method was slowly slicing the bond line with a razor blade. I would no recommend that.
PPS No, I don't get a sales commission.

So when any post is made it "bumps" the thread it is on to the top of the Latest Posts page.
I had a customer who didn’t puncture the seal on a tube of superglue. She squeezed until the end of the tube popped open and instantly glued 3 fingers and the tube together. I had to use acetone to dissolve the mess.
The only toilet seat I’ve ever sat down on in my
life is in my home.
A public rest room...never.
Thinking this is a BIG woman.
It’s on Ebay. 8 bucks including shipping.
I first heard of a case in the '70s when super glue was first becoming the rage...believe it was a wife getting back at an errant hubby.
Mine doesn't, it depends on your settings.
LOL!!!
Thank you for that explanation.
