Wear plastic gloves when applying CA glue, or try not to use your index finger. Otherwise you will not be unlocking your phone with your fingerprint for a couple of days. :)

Been there, done that.

Another tip: When you flood a crack with thin CA, make sure it's dry before turning the lathe back on.

Done that one too.

Before working with CA I fill a margarine tub with Acetone which is a CA solvent. When I get it on me I just immerse hand in the Acetone. After use I pour the Acetone back into it's metal can.

Assuming the margarine tub is plastic, doesn't the acetone soften and/or melt it? That's been my experience with acetone and anything plastic.

I remember reading about someone who spilled a fair amount of CA on the running shoe he was wearing. It didn't occur to him that he should get the shoe off immediately. When it did occur to him, it was too late.
