I know the Fonz award is designed for those who shouldn't be left in control of a bow. But this nomination is for someone who shouldn't be left in control of a tube of super glue.
I am nominating a club mate, and one of the quieter AIUK members Hugh (and by the way mate Helen put me up to this so blame her not me:stirthepo !)
On Monday night Hugh turned up to the club after a hard day at work intending to just relax and fletch a few arrows. He set himself up to do so and set the first arrow in the jig with the first vane glue neatly(?) in place.
A few minutes later when coming to loosen the clamp after the first vane had set it seemed a little stiff. Upon closer examination he realised that the glueing hadn't been quite so neat and the clamp was stuck to the vane - a problem we've all had when fletching no doubt and relatively easily fixed? Nope!
Not only was the vane stuck to the clamp but some of the glue had trickled down to the tightening bolt on the clamp and stuck that as well! Then whilst carefully trying to loosen the bolt the head sheared off very probably causing the death of the entire jig!:melodrama
At least Hugh had the good humour to laugh about it and reveal to all present that the last time he had used super glue he had glued fingers together and glued his phone to same fingers!!
Hughbert; USE PRITT STICK!!!:raspberry
