How many of us have experienced Super glue which sticks onto our fingers and getting them out takes a long time. Many ways to take out, and the best one was using Acetone (nail polish remover), I have tried a variety including smelly Vinegar which took a lot more time to get the smell out.
The main problem of super glue, it is “transparent” when liquid and not seen easily. When we squeeze, we end up many times squeezing more and our fingers get stuck. I dislike using gloves and when handling tiny items, fingers hold better than tools.
The best simple solution I see, is to have the super glue with color when liquid and it can become transparent when it solidifies. We can see what comes out and control how much and take care not to “wet” our fingers to the glue.
It has been a long passion of mine to think how "anything" can be made better. What may be the best solution today may not be the best tomorrow. And we can always improve upon things. Some could be simple solutions whereas some may involve a complicated approach to solving issues. Many times, I find solutions to problems, and speak with friends and colleagues, but it may not be useful, as the ultimate person who could use the solution may not have spoken to me or may be connected with me. By the written word and linkedin, I hope to reach to a larger audience and real people who may truly benefit from the solution.
Creativity is what differentiates a human from a machine. Our human nature is ability to think of ways to connect unrelated things but yet make a winning solution.
