In international press

The American President, a National Medal of Technology and Innovation winner, two legendary guitar players and Bailey Guitars, are stuck together with superglue….(and the Pope…)

Using superglue to repair a split in the end of the neck

It’s not often I can stick all that stuff into the conversation but here goes…..

The original superglue corp have featured one of my blogs to show how versatile their product is. Even more amazing they have also stuck it in their newsletter, right below another article about how the inventor of superglue was awarded a National Medal of Technology and Innovation for it, by no less than Obama the almighty.

The guitar I was working on is owned by Martin Taylor and had been signed by Chet Atkins.

I guess you are wondering where the Pope comes in….I just stuck him in for a laugh……well when I was a lot younger I once visited the Vatican and did have an idea to superglue myself to him ‘in protest’- They have so much gold and there is so much poverty in the world it really shocked me. Thankfully I never did it, and just carry it round with me as a funny image in my head, or I might be still stuck in jail…..or to the Pope -  he died so it’s just as well- the last thing anyone wants is a dead Pope stuck to them. That would be taking ‘male bonding’ to disturbing levels.

Apologies if you were expecting a serious post about superglue – more sensibly:

Obviously we don’t use it for major structural jobs, but it has such a multitude of uses around the workshop I would be stuck without it.

I have now exhausted my weak supply of glue puns and will expect some better ones in the comments – just be sure to adhere to the rules….
