A "sticky" question

Sprayinhg WD 40 on your hide is very dangerous. TOXIC, enters the blood stream very quickly. The local mill here has banned the use of WD 40 all together. I try to mind my own business, but I thought you might like a heads up on that.

??? ???Never heard that Hugh?, I have a friend that lives in Kansas and has arthritis so bad he wouldn't be able to move his fingers if it weren't for rubbing WD40 on ....he buys and uses the stuff by the case, you can't hardly tell he has arthritis! I would have to see some research on that one!

I use it on my left knee frequently (have been for the better part of the last 19 years!) - blew it out playing army. Works good!

I checked the MSDS and all it says under skin contact is 'may cause drying or irritation' this is one of the few things I have ever checked that doesn't even have the 'known to the State of California to cause cancer' warning on it.

Hugh you can mind my business anytime. Could be my neighbor is trying to kill me. The simplest thing would be for me to wear gloves. I also need to start doing that when carving regardless. I'm just amazed that silicone can adhere glass and wood. I just learn so much from this board.

I was wandering around the craft store yesterday when my wife was looking at rubber stamping stuff and found that elmer's has a new glue for glass and ceramic. It's supposed to be dishwasher safe after its dry. Can't remember what it's called though, but it mentions glass and ceramic in its title. Haven't tried it though.

Hey everyone,
Just found a new site (actually my boss found it) that is a benefit to all of us!

It's a website where you can search two materials and how to glue them together...something we all need from time to time.

I use Maxi - Cure to glue marbles to the top of small light houses. I found this stuff at a model railroad shop, or go to www.bsiadhesives.com

Thanks again for all the suggestions everyone...one of these have got to work.
The big test will be which method can withstand some knocking around....I sell these at Renn. faires so they really need to bond well.

I'll post my 'findings' after some experimentation
