Welding over superglue

[chunkolini]

In the sculpture section somebody was saying they had used superglue to hold small components together before welding them.
I have a dim memory of trying this years back and the fumes were evil, like I say a dim memory.
Are cyanoacrylates this nasty at high temperatures?

 

[MattF]

Vicious, as soon as heat gets near the stuff.

Caused by welding superglue

Don't they evaporate then condense? This would leave the glue in your nose, lungs &c.

I'm sure there's a forensic process that uses superglue vapour.

It's an iratant, and in some cases can trigger asthma, on the plus side can give out lots of heat when mixed with pure cotton

well you can use normal super glue but if F-----ing stings

 

[pedrobedro]

Germolene do something called New Skin that works just like superglue. I have some that I use on small cuts. I find anything you put on open cuts tends to sting.

Pity you can't weld cuts and wounds would you use arc, mig or tig though

How would it have stopped you tripping?

well you could use mig wire to make some stitches with would make your eyes water a bit but it would work

hospitals use steel staples on wounds
nearest thing here vet use from the good old usa

Beware of the Beryllium oxide powder in fluorescents; it's very bad for your lungs.
