It's Officially Sticky Fingers

[nbcrusader]

I just finished helping my son with a science project (pack an egg in a 7"x7"x7" box so that it can survive a drop from the roof of the building). Our box was under the size limit, so we glued bubble wrap around the outside of the box. I used a spray automotive adhesive which I spread with my finger. I now have glue residue on my finger - and it's not coming off.....

don't pick your nose.

Wait until the glue dries and then peel it off slowly so you can get one big peice of glue with your skin imprint on it.

I had to do this experiment and my egg didn't make it. I wonder if putting an egg encased in jello would have worked better?

 

[ILuvLarryMullen]

I think I am the only person in the world who never got to do this experiment. I never got to do the whole egg-baby thing either.

 

[bonosloveslave]

BTW - did you look at the package for the glue? There may be directions for what solvent to use to get it off...

 

[nbcrusader]

Reading directions takes away the challenge......

Sorry, that might be too personal a question.

we had to do this once. but we weren't 7. more like 17. special school and all... not it wasnt really, we .... i actually dont know why it was so late in our education, but my friend and i (the team) won. ours was about the size of a small person after the bubble wrap was done and also hard boiled

break, it did not.

some things are more fun when people sort of trust you around heavy machinery

 

[Angela Harlem]

Are eggs usually considered heavy machinery in The Hollandlands?



Really, our school clearly didn't even trust us with eggs. We weren't allowed near the teachers car park at all with them.

party poopers.

 

[Salome]

of course eggs aren't heavy machinery


but ou want to prepare the egg for a drop down the roof .....



I wouldn't even trust you around my car with an egg now

 

[Angela Harlem]

well thats good, because i wouldnt trust you with your car around my eggs now...



pffffft.

 

[Salome]

hihihihi


if anyone is allowed to egg my car it's you though

I might even use it as an incentive to clean it again

Am I the only one thinking about the Rolling Stones right now?

NBC ... if you haven't figured out how to get rid of the glue residue, try nailpolish removed.

That was my first thought. Apparently, my wife doesn't have any.

I ended up using Basic H and a scrub pad (ouch).
