STRONGSVILLE, OH, September 19, 2010 (Press-News.org) Occasionally there is a need to separate two objects bonded with LIQUID NAILS Adhesive, such as two boards, two bricks, or in some cases, two fingers.
Here are some tips for getting out of the stickiest situations. LIQUID NAILS Adhesive is designed for durable bonding - this isn't supposed to be easy.
How to Remove LIQUID NAILS Adhesive from Skin
First, check to see if the adhesive is solvent- or latex-based.
For Solvent-Based Adhesive:
- Gently rub petroleum jelly, vegetable or mineral oil onto the skin. Repeat applications may be needed.
- Remove any contaminated clothing and be sure to wash before wearing it again.
For Latex-Based Adhesive:
- Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
How to Remove LIQUID NAILS Adhesive from Building Materials
What you'll need:
- Windshield Cut-Out Wire (also called music wire), available at most automotive parts stores
- Safety gloves and/or handles for the wire to keep hands from being cut
- Safety goggles or a face shield
- Two screwdrivers to prop parts into an open position
- Wire cutters
What you'll do:
- Cut a length of wire about two or three feet longer than the width of the part to be removed.
- Starting at one corner, work the middle of the wire under the edge of the part. Connect the handles to the wire, if you are using handles. If not, be sure to wear heavy safety gloves to protect your hands.
- Saw back and forth with the wire, using moderate pressure. This should start cutting the adhesive. After a few inches have been cut, use the screwdrivers to prop open the gap. This is done to prevent thermoplastic adhesives from re-adhering, which can happen as friction causes significant warming of the adhesive.
- Continue sawing, moving the screwdrivers as you go. Continue until the part is loose and can be removed.
- Scrape away residual adhesive. If the adhesive is too hard to scrape, apply a light layer of baby oil to the adhesive, wait an hour, then scrape. Repeat if necessary. NOTE: Do not use baby oil or any other softening material if painting of the surface is planned, as it may stain.

Study Finds Admitting Mistakes Leads to Fewer Malpractice Suits
2010-09-19

New Bill Would Require Drivers in Accidents to Submit to Sobriety Tests

The New Jersey legislature is considering a bill that would make it mandatory for any driver involved in a traffic accident where a fatality or a serious injury occurred to take a sobriety test.

Watch Out for Students on Two Wheels as Fall Semester Begins
2010-09-19
Fall semester is back in full swing and Salt Lake City students are using their trusty two-wheeled vehicles to get around campus. Bicycles, mopeds and scooters are some of students' favorite modes of transportation as they are efficient, easy to park and easy to store. However, they offer little protection for the rider in the event of a crash, so both the rider and other motorists need to exercise increased caution at this time of year.
Motorists should be especially careful when driving near the University of Utah, Westminster College and Salt Lake Community College. ...
