Caution with superglue
 
Hey everyone,

So I just had a new experience in reefing today!

I was making a few frags and my filefish decided to take a bite of the superglue. So long story short the filefish got his mouth stuck together and I had to catch him and remove the piece of superglue. He is looking fine and there doesn't appear to be any damage.

In the future im going to make sure the glue is fully dry before it goes in the tank!

Yeah I know! I never expected it to happen, But apparently it is pretty common! A quick search on google brought up a couple dozen forums with the same thing!

That is amazing!

I worked with a guy that glued his entire hand to a 2000 pound panelsaw when I was a furniture maker. Anyways, 4 hours later, the entire fire department, and a surgeon being called in, managed to get his hand off the bench in one piece. All that because somebody forgot to put a lid on a 1L bottle of the stuff!

He never managed to live that one down!
