Denisemomof4 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 dh has a cap on one of his FRONT teeth. He lost it recently!!! :lol: It fell out, and he had dd help him find it out in the garage. :lol: Thank heavens it happened when he was at home!!! It happened over the weekend. So Monday morning comes and he's got a full day at work. He decided to go to the dentist's office and sit there until they get in. After waiting 45 minutes, he impatiently called me and said he had to get to work. He said he was going to go to the store to get.......... GORILLA GLUE, glue it in and go to work. :eek::svengo::svengo::svengo: What would you do if you were in my shoes? I yelled into the phone, "You're NOT going to do that!!!!!" and he truly couldn't understand why it wasn't a good option. Oh, and he's VERY intelligent. It doesn't sound like it, but he's brilliant. Brilliant with NO common sense. I wish I had his brilliance but I've got the common sense thing covered. :D Just thought I'd share. For no particular reason. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shalom22 Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 My dad has false teeth and he kept knocking out a front tooth. He got tired of going in and having it put back in. So the next time one came out, he superglued it back in. It held better after that...Men ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pqr Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Gorilla or Crazy glue? I guess I should be supportive next time.:blush: Crazy glue, but then I have lived in places where seeing the dentist could be a 2 month wait or was simply unaffordable. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1566241/Sufferers-pull-out-teeth-due-to-lack-of-dentists.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merry gardens Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Yikes! Gorilla glue left dark stains on my husband's hands. I can only imagine what it would look like on teeth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Doesn't Gorilla glue expand?!! How did that work for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfarm Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 My uncle races hot rods. He and several guy friends wait all year long for one particular big race/show that is about 5 hours from home. They make detailed lists and intensive plans about what to bring for weeks ahead of the event. Unfortunately last year, one of the guys forgot his toiletries bag, so had no soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc. His solution? He cleaned up each day with Windex!:001_huh: He would take a few shop towels and a bottle of Windex, the using the old formula, wash as far down as possible, as far up as possible, and then wash possible. According to the guys, other than a slightly lemony, ammonia scent, all was well. I for one certainly wouldn't try this at home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 he listened to his panicked wife and waited longer for the dentist. He never used it! Yes, Gorrilla glue expands. If he had to fix it himself, super glue might be better.;) (I would worry about toxicity though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 My dh cut his face a couple of years ago while working on an outdoor project on a Friday evening. He needed stitches, but rather than pay th ER co-pay and sit and wait, he superglued the wound closed :lol:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
