Even more importantly, how do you get ABS glue out of your hair?

I had to replace some old cast iron (bathtub ptrap and associated uphill pipe) under a slab and was gluing pipe in an awkward position. When I got home I found a big glop of hardened glue right on top/front of my head.

Do I wait a few days and maybe it will come off?

Nail polish remover to soften it?

Wet towel overnight?

So now you have primer on your hands. ABS glue would seem the lesser of two evils in that case.
Can we see a pic of the ABS in your hair¿ hehe :cool:
 
You are not wearing very smart clothes for such an important job as that.

I always wear my best trousers, shirts and shoes when plumbing....to my wife's utter horror!:)

Dress to impress when plumbing.
 
Usually it pulls off after a short time when the hair's oils loosen its grip.

And it did!

I had second thoughts about chemicals ao I just use my fingernails on it for about a half hour.

I think I only lost a few hairs in the process.
