    I remember this procedure being deadly! Someone talked about the
    smoke coming from the superglue, inhaling it, and being in very bad
    shape from so doing. The $10.00 word for superglue is cyanoacrylate.
    "Cyano" means cyanide, a serious poison. 

    My own boo-boo in this area didn't even involve heat. I was sealing
    a long crack in the drone of a set of bagpipes. I thought gap-filling
    superglue might be a good material. I thought it would be a good
    thing to help the glue permeate by stopping one end of the drone, and
    using suction, orally applied by me. The lung and throat burning was
    enough to make me modify my approach after one puff. 

    Please stick to third-hands, binding wire, soldering investments, and
    the like. Make jigs, do whatever it takes. NO SUPERGLUE.
