I'm fully armed!

Yeah, armed with superglue, bits of wire, elastic and small pliers to mend christmas decorations, why do I always get the job? A snowman and a reindeer are on the list.......

The lit up reindeer got brought out the other night, I've hidden it for a night or two, the electricity company loves us, its profits doubles at this time of the year. Now how do you get yer fingers apart after supergluing them........? humbugs!!

Because you're Super(glue)man, Airwave.

Anything decorations-related is firmly in my territory because I have more patience and more interest in the challenges presented. I will soon be buying a glue gun (a nice cheap one from Dunelm) because I have two glass ornaments to mend and don't fancy gluing my fingers together.

I must compliment The Spouse, however, on his willingness to get the steps out to put the reindeer up in the kitchen (they are standing models which fit neatly in the recess for the uplighters), the two moose that sit on the ledge of said recess, the 3D wooden stars that hang from said recess edge plus installing the recent addition of a wire antelope head (adorned with a touch of tinsel) above the entrance to the hall. He is a Bah Humbug, I am the polar opposite and he bears it all with very good grace. DD

DD, get the cyano (superglue) from a modeling shop, you can purchase slim nozzle extensions and apply tiny amounts at a time, try the thinest type of cyano glue, should work well. You can also buy a cyano fixer to squirt at the glue or pre-apply it to the other side, it'll work very quickly on surfaces that it won't usually glue well.

Still got sticky fingers? Wear gloves or get hubby to do it! tcold
