that same one acrylic plaque fell off the wallpaper... AGAIN! must re-install now with stronger glue. carpenter suggests the common super glue and gave full instructions in mandarin... ya, ya, ya, thanks... but, i no understand chinese leh!
so, i opened 2 tubes of super glue and lined the plaque, lined it, criss crossed, pressed it against the wall, counted...
Then, i saw it. glue dripping down, down, down... sliding, sleethering, flowing down the plaque.
great... i forgot to grab rough paper, old cloth... and great... i forgot to wear gloves. my fingers wiped the glue away... away, AWAY i say~!!
then i saw mr indian guy wiping the glass panels with newspaper!! yay!! excuse me, please give me a piece of newspaper!! thank God, he's so helpful and kind, like most indian workers actually. newspaper to wipe all the glue away the plaque. wipe my sticky fingers. wipe wipe .. oh, no, print on my fingers, yuck, it's green from the green print ad... green fingers :(
then, i saw another... one singular line of glue flowing down the wallpaper. at least 1 foot long now. STOP! STOP! i dare not wipe with newspaper. i dare not wipe with fingers. i dare not touch it. ONE foot glue trail. together with sticky fingers with green ink. great.
HELP! i called the carpenter. dried super glue on fingers. feels... tight, irritating. guess what he said? ha ha ha... never used super glue before? unbelievable! don't you know? there's nothing you can do until it peels off in the next few days! don't peel now or the skin will get ripped off!! are your fingers stuck together by the glue? now that is ultimate trouble! next time, only dot dot dot the super glue on the surface, a little will do, do not splurge it! (all in mandarin, this time i understand, this time it makes a lot more sense!!)
And, the final result...
so i went home, put lots and lots of soap, and scraped out as much super glue on my fingers. feels pretty sore now, but most have already come out.
patience and lots of soap... and super glue NO MORE, no thanks!
