Fortunately, GG is harmless once cured.

Super glue has been used for wound repair since medics in Viet Nam
discovered that use. I wonder how safe it is? However, an expensive
version marketed for medical use did not sell well and I haven't seen it
for a year or so.

CA is probably the best option. I never could get it to work on
fingernails. I haven't found a way to get the bond to last. There's
probably a way to do it by proper prepping. I used to use CA as my main
adhesive but these days I use UV cured glues. I haven't bought CA in
about 5 years. The guy at the hobby shop probably wonders what happened
to me. :-)

I'd recommend wood glue or Gorilla glue. Much easier to fill gaps from
splinters.

I guess there's been a little too much editing somewhere on down the
line. We was talking about split fingernails. :-)

You need some Assertiveness Training. If you're sure about something,
don't be wuss and say you "guess" - just SAY it outright and stop
typing in that mousy little voice of yours!

ObFood: Caramelized onions and cheese tarts tonight. And some sort of
fish maybe.

This might be the first intelligent thing you've ever said - dickhead!
It's still a stupid post but everything with you must be done on a
relative scale... :-)

You did it again. You said "might". If you're sure about your
opinion, just say it! Make it absolute, make it aggressive, don't
leave any wishy washy wiggle room!

Sheesh.

Sheesh yourself. Yeah, you can try to get folks to post just the way
you'd like them to post in your perfect little world. It don't take a
genius to figure out that it's mostly only the hardcore posters that
inhabit these waters nowadays. Just wait and see where all that
whining's going get your ass. Have a nice day cooch err, coach! :-)

<snork> That's not what this is about, at all. We obviously have
more work to do here, but since you're getting grumpy we'll cut
today's lessons short and just take "baby steps" from now on. Have a
good night!

ObFood: I promised a caramelized onion and cheese tart (with fresh
leeks) and some sort of fish (tilapia) for dinner earlier in th
thread, so:

I'm sorry, you've used up all my discretionary time with your dopy
chit-chat. Please come up with something with more meat on it or I'm
gonna have to ignore your puta ass. Don't talk about me and especially
don't talk about yourself and how you want me to post. Thanks a slice. :-)

The individual components, yes, but I don't think that's true after it's
cured. Urethanes are pretty non-reactive in that state.

Just messing with him. It's all in good fun (for me at least). He's
invited my mocking attention.
