Never get Sikaflex in your hair!

[Johnb]

Just NEVER!

 

[Ukdave2002]

Or expanding foam on your hands, which will then thin pick up every bit of dirt and take a month of Sundays to clean!

I’d be only too pleased to have hair for Sikaflex to stick to.

 

[Johnb]

I've now got a bit less and there wasn't that much to start with!

Or a brand new pair of jeans

You must have been left impressed how well it holds.

I once got expanding foam on my hands many moons ago whilst repairing our little group dive boat , whose fibreglass hull had been breached whilst sat on its trailer (filled up with water - approx 3 tonne of it!) It was my first time using the stuff and I didn't know its perils. Once on my hands I reached for a cloth which unfortunately had oil and grease on it. Net result next day both of my hands were covered with black- hardened polyurethane. I spent the next two days slowly picking it off( thank god for sweat) Now whenever using it I wear three pairs of gloves (vinyl ) and a bin liner in case the valve snaps off and a copious supply of clean cloths and Isopropyl Alcohol and brake cleaner and very old clothes! Similar with Sikaflex -brake cleaner is excellent for obtaining a super smooth finish.

Every bit counts .

Just be patient while it grows out - i've had something similar recently after a head operation where the wound was sealed with superglue along the hair line.

Thanks for the warning as we need to use some today to fill gaps under our shed.

I used it once for filling in the doors on a Ford Cortina. Took ages to free the window and locking mechanism but it’s sound deadening improved no end.
