Put down your hobby knives and airbrushes...

...for a moment of silence: I just learned on another web page that Harry Coover, the inventor of super glue, just passed away at the age of 94.Sad

Thank you Harry for bringing CA into our world.  So many great memories of my fingers being stuck together.  I am afraid I have more than 7 bottles of CA at my workbench at this moment.

I've used more super glue in the past month than I'd used in the past 10 years.  Rest well, Harry!!
