When building a Balsa RC plane, I would sand the sheets of parts down to half the thickness before punching the parts out. Then put Purple, ultra thin cyanoacrylate along the grain end of the parts. The glue would wick through the pores in the wood coating the insides with glue. Then I sprayed the part with accelerator, triclorethyliene 111, to insure the glue set. This made it composite part that was both lighter and stronger than the original balsa.

You can imagine it, but it's not the same as doing it in the first person. It's not the same as dating a chick with a kid. It's not the same as taking care of your sister's kids. That doesn't make me a better person (to have a kid) by any stretch. But it's just not the same.
That melted my heart right there. I respect anyone for their decision but you are right. Just different.

I could be making this up but it is so you can see where it is going on? And there is nothing in the body that is purple in color. For some reason, that comes out of my brain. Don't know where it came from...

Maybe all lies.

The stuff in the vial is purple. The glass vial, itself, is clear.

I just liked hearing his little sighs when he was sleeping. Watching him make little faces at a dream or if he just had some gas. We had a couple bottles, I changed a diaper, and he slept in my arms. The cat and dog hung out with us too, though he hasn't really taken notice of them yet.

Not even close. Maybe Mrs. Noah. I don't know how she manages 3 kids, 2 cats, and a crazy dog. And me.

I have never met him but I might go so far as to put him above the cats but behind the dog....

I met him once. Yeah, I guess he's better than the dog and cats. He changed a diaper so doesn't that automatically put you ahead of a cat and dog?

The stuff I had used on me was purple glue. The doc said it was so they could see where they put it and where it ended up. The clear stuff we can get for a buck a bottle is the same stuff without the dye.

One of my ENT surgeon friends carries a bottle of the glue with him at all times.

I had a very deep gash on my knee a few years ago, impaled myself on a screw, anyway, they tried gluing the thing back together, which I thought was stupid given in was on my knee, and yep, it didn't work, ended up having a squillion ugly stitches to try to hold it together, and nothing ended up working, stuff died, looked horrible, took about 2 months to close, and got left with a very lovely horrible scar.

Not a big fan of the glue method, I understand that in the right application it can work well, but mine, ah no.

Hmmmmmm, so I could use my hobby grade accelerant on dermabond?

It's not quite the same as the cheap clear stuff... The purple dries slower and with less heat. The cheap clear stuff can kill surrounding tissue.
