A non-sticky lesson
-
A couple of days ago I dropped a laptop. Missed the carpet of course, hit a wooden floor. Broke a bottom corner of the screen casing. I managed to find the two biggest pieces, which will only leave a small gap to be filled when replaced.
Dragged out the multi-pack of little tubes of cyanoacrylate superglue. Before tackling the laptop I thought I'd practice on another fallen object. It fell apart again a couple of hours later when I removed the tape I'd used to "clamp" it. Hmmm.
Wikipedia/cyanoacrylate glue... Well blow me down, that stuff has a shelf life of one year at room temperature. My stock was way older than that. I don't recall ever seeing any mention of that, an expiry date, etc on any of the packaging of the various brands I've used over the years.
My old university's motto strikes again, 60 years later "ancora imparo". -

Italian: "I'm still learning"
And
Latin: "I still don't understand"Which one did you mean? :D

keep it in fridge or freezer. Keeps long time.

@OriginalGriff The first is the official Uni translation. But the second is just as relevant in many circumstances...
