What is your stupidest modeling accident

I opened a stuck cap on a CA bottle (thin of course) with my teeth. This is probably the only time that the nozzle was NOT clogged as well. The outcome was predictable. I got a good (?) squirt in the mouth. I was barely able to unstick my tongue from my lips and teeth. Hurt like Hell! The glue left a rough texture on my teeth that lasted for several days. Don't do it. Take the time to find the pliers. Could have been worse, I guess. It could have shot me in the eye. I don't want to think about that one.

Laughing about it (now), :blush: :laugh:

Bill,
I've done that! :sick:

Now for something a little less dumb............................ yet equally entertaining.

Long long ago, in a place called my parents basement, I took the liberty of shooting an "empty" spray can of purple metalflake enamel with my BB rifle.

Some would find it amazing that I can remember the color nearly 50 years after the fact. I on the other hand will NEVER forget the spout of purple metalflake enamel erupting from the can. Nor will I forget the way the jet of paint propelled that can throughout the basement, covering everything in it's path with purple metalflake enamel.

Everything, the floor, the walls, the pet turtle, every m+#$!^ %^&*ing thing. :blink

Did you shout hey ya'll.watch this? :D
 
It is astounding that I survived my formative years. I could create havoc in my sleep, really I could. I rolled out of bed once, I was maybe 4 years old, and split my head open on the night stand.

:pinch:

Now something more current.

I was painting a tank with Tamiya OD, and using generic laquer thinner. Upon completion and air brush cleaning time I used an empty coke can to catch the spray. Naturally, I was drinking from another identical can at the time.
Well, I needed refreshment, I do live in the Mojave desert you know, and took a big drink.

:sick:

Wrong can.

1. My story
When you use a # 3 X-acto to cut a bleach bottle in half for your cousins
Roman helmet model,(school project) the blade sometimes stops in the web of your
left hand. :blink

2. My Uncle's tale
He calls me to stop by and check out the engine wiring job he's working on. I
stop over to find him at the kitchen table, index finger on eyelid. :hmmm
He was glueing a wire in place with C/A and had an itch.....

Emergency room Doctor had to peel the lid from the finger.
