[Woodcarver] CA glue on Kevlar glove

[Sandy Holder]

Yea! Finally found someone else who had that happen although mine wasn't 
with a Kevlar glove. I am a piano technician and had that very thing happen 
while using CA glue when repairing cracks in a grand piano bass sound board 
bridge. I was filling the cracks by the brass bridge pins, caused from 
string tension pulling on the pin, and I accidentally spilled some on the 
bridge where it didn't need to be, so I grabbed a rag, probably had some 
polyester in it, and tried to dab it up and wow, I got rid of that rag in a 
hurry. It burned right through the rag to my fingers and you couldn't hardly 
get it to let go. Still don't know the reason, but glad someone else had a 
similar problem.

Don't know if it would have done that with just a cotton rag or not. Maybe 
its the brass, but everyone be aware that you have to be extreemly cautious 
with that stuff.
