I would try to glue a small wood splinter back down and the splinter would stubbornly adhere to my finger instead of the workpiece. And I was always trying to clean the stuff off my fingers with acetone or the matching dissolver product.<\/p>\n<p>I tried to use my usual workshop nitrile gloves, and they gave a bit of protection, but the glue would glue them together or eat holes in the gloves. It didn&#8217;t really solve the problem.<\/p>\n<p>I contacted the manufacturer of my glue to ask if they knew of a type of glove that would work. They said, &#8220;no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then made a discovery that CA glues do not stick to polyethylene. And you can buy <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/cast-poly-gloves\">polyethylene gloves<\/a>. This has been a game-changer for me. I&#8217;ve used CA glue a lot more often and with a lot more success than I ever did before. I managed to use up a whole bottle before it hardened on the shelf. The glue doesn&#8217;t stick to the gloves and my hands stay clean.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that a lot of the polyethylene gloves are not waterproof, which presumably means they aren&#8217;t glue-proof. The gloves I&#8217;ve been using are &#8220;Cast Polyethylene Gloves&#8221; which appear to be a style of polyethylene glove that does not leak. These gloves are thin and they don&#8217;t fit particularly well due to the flat design, so they&#8217;re not going to replace my nitrile gloves for general use, but for dealing with &#8220;superglue&#8221; they are the answer.<\/p>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CA glues do not stick to polyethylene<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38186"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38186"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38186\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38188,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38186\/revisions\/38188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38186"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38186"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38186"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
