A plastic strip type thingy had come off my alarm key for, so I decided to get the superglue out and stick it back on. Read the instructions (remove cap, position nozzle above desired area and press sides gently) then splat....half the Tub empties onto my hands, key fob....not to mention the kitchen worktop/floor/chair/sink etc - pretty much everywhere. Mad dash to wash my hands results key fob, which was instantly glued to my hand deciding to stop working on me........now my car was sold with only 1 set of keys so yup you guessed it - Locked out of car!


Any suggestions on superglue removal or how to bring my alarm fob back to life would be much grateful

 

acetone.... (nail polish remover depending on type)

 

i have seen a super glue remover spray in a local DIY place, Homebase i think it was. might help, not sure if it works or not.

Could you not ring your insurance co and say your keys were knicked? maybe able to get a new set.

 

Ah nice one, i'll go see if theres any before someone notices the proper ****ed kitchen

Key fobs up in the boiler cupboard drying off!

I cant believe I done this....it was like something off faulty towers(shaking my hand about with the keys attached to it - shouting and swearing) im going out now to beat up my car with a tree branch

 

If u can't find any nail varnish remover you could try NHS direct. They may know of something else u can try.

 

you not got a wee key to switch your alarm off?

 

Is your alarm one of the standard Sigmas with a keypad in the glove box? You can always operate the alarm from that until you get a new transmitter.

 

Yay put the key remote back together this morning and it works. Phew thank fanny for that!


Yes Adam there is a key to switch it off but I didnt fancy trying out last night and waking up half the street

 

Nah its a Serpi Star GR240.....think im gonna get it replaced with a Toad one unless I can order a few spare remotes. Ive looked on the net and it doesnt look too good.

 

PMSL kolin, I was expecting this to say you'd stuffed it!

 

Pah no not yet.....I was out last night having fun with a Golf Turbo tho....I swear to god everyone on the road must think my cars a sport

 

Its probably cos you drive it like its a sport!!


Im zipping the suit up now!

 

Wooooo - Girly driving to go with girly colour eh

What suit? Gimp suit?

 

No, the flame suit for when the sport drivers grill me!

 

What colour is the car? Heard all the girly comments, but not seen any pics?

I like people thinking its a sport

 

link dont work kolin

 

Nice colour.... makes mine look slightly less gay

 

Looks alot nicer in the flesh (you will see it tonight Adam as long as I dont have another superglue accident) and I got plans to change the Alloys, STi splitter + Spoiler and colour code

 

You get the tranny fluid changed?

 

Works for me

 

Monday its going in for that along with Turbo Timer and corroded water pipes.

 

Works now!

 

Good stuff

 

Good, good. You bought those lights yet

 

they went for £225 in the end and even the cracked set are up to £180 now

Once I get back from hol's I'll buy a new set and de-Tango at same time

 

Getting back to the original subject! - If thre's one thing superglue (cyanoacrylate) does well, it's stick skin! (ever tried the superglue on the toilet seat trick?) It was developed many years ago to "stitch" wounds together in the Vietnam war, in the field.
As an aeromodeller I've used loads of the stuff. DON'T breath the fumes - contains cyanide! (difficult to detect) they can give you bad "hay fever" type symptoms.

Yeh I used to be a Trainee Chemist once upon a time, so know breathing the fumes wouldnt be the smartest thing to do.....along with spilling it all around the kitchen - still cant believe what I done

Yeah I remember the old superglue on the toilet seat trick and infact happend to some poor sod when I was in a McDonalds a few years ago.....sounded quite painfull

 

That is a gay colour..... and a half....
