Please grade my stupidity - heating glue

My safety glasses. Before rinsing my eyes for 15 minutes.

So that I can improve my grade.

Ummmmm tricky. Got it. Had to give some serious thought to your dilemma and here is what I came up with

IF YOU HAD SAFETY GLASSES ON YOU WOULD HAVE NO NEED TO RINSE EYES

Be a smart idea to rinse outside of Safety Glasses and protect your delicate pinkies while removing Safety Glasses, which you should do with eyes closed

So that I can improve my grade.

Didn't work
In view of question down a half point to 2 :)

Quit now

From other posters

No. Fill your goggles with water, then shake your head with your eyes open. Conserves water.

With eyesight at stake don't care if use an Olympic Swimming Pools amount of water :)
Moot anyway since Safety Glasses are off

Would that work in micro gravity?(if my eyes didn't pop out)
YES. Inertia would cause water movement to lag behind movement of head

What is random bumping and is it legal?

Depends on what is being bumped, where and what with being bumped, how random and consent :)

Coffee time

:)
 
I heat up polyurethane glue in the plastic bottle to make it easier to pour .

The last bit is always that bit thicker.

Anyway,I heated up the dregs of this bottle of gorilla glue and my idea was to collect the remaining liquid in the cap as I unsrewed it.

A small explosion resulted)more a splattering) and no harm was done.

What if it had gone in my (or anyone else's eyes)

Pretty stupid

How stupid?

Should I be locked up for my own good?
heat source>?
 
I have an oven that keeps a regular temperature somewhere below 100 degrees.

It is an indirect heat.

Actually ,there are 4 ovens,1 at 70 ,another at about 95 degrees Celsius and the two others are for cooking.

I can use the cooler ones to occasionally melt glue to make it easier to work with.

It was when I removed the plastic bottle from the oven and attempted to open it by unscrewing its top that the contents splattered out.(I was holding it upside down so the liquid was in close contact with the cap)

This was ,I assume because the bottle was nearly empty and so there was a lot of hot vapour inside as well as the small amount of polyurethane glue I was trying to recover(the last bits stick to the side and are hard to squeeze out)

Next time I will wear my beekeeper's uniform(just joking)

Next time don't heat a closed container in an oven.
Thanks for the advice.
You know this oven has to be cleaned every year or so and the paraffin burner in the middle has to be relit (there are 4 concentric channels with "asbestoid wick" that suck up the gravity driven kerosene in order to take the flame)

So you dismantle and remove the burner from the base and clean out the caked carbon and replace it all

Then you have to wait because,written on the door is "do not delight the burner when the cooker is hot"

Of course ,it is tempting to relight it when it has cooled down a bit but not to wait until it is cold since it takes 6 or 7 hours to get back up to a workable cooking temperature-and it also heats the room

So sometimes I have cut corners and relight it when it is still quite hot.

Then the vapour in the chamber goes "pop" and it is really quite alarming.

Actually that only happened once (twice?)and I am a bit more careful since.

So ,if you don't see me on these boards for an extended period maybe I have been sucked up and ejected from the chimney :(

It's worth thinking about.
