While installing a three-piece shower surround unit in the
bathroom, I cleverly used a rolling pin to press the fiberglass panels into the
adhesive. I noticed that some of the fast-drying glue had gotten on both the
rolling pin handles and my hands, but decided to keep going.
By the time I finished installing the shower surround, my hands were firmly glued
to the rolling pin! Knowing that mineral spirits would dissolve the glue, I
went to the garage (opening three doors with great difficulty). But then I
couldn’t free my hands to get the screw top off the mineral spirits can.
Frantically, I bashed a hole in the can with the end of the rolling pin handle,
sloshed the mineral spirits on my hands and set myself free.
