A New Use for Superglue

Was doing some work on my car this weekend, and needed to hold a flat washer, lock washer and nut in an awkward position - under the interior carpet even - then thread a bolt onto all three with my other hand. And, because of the odd position, I could really only hold the washers and nut with one finger.

Not easy.

In the end, I superglued the lockwasher to the nut and the flat washer to the lock washer. When they were all held good and tight, I glued the nut to my finger. That held just fine until I got the bolt threaded through.

Crazy Elliott Logic strikes again!

Yep. It's rarely elegant, but often effective.
