Dear Constant Reader,
First, a reminder that it’s almost Teaseday! Do you have your tickets? Brigitte & I will be doing a duet and some B.A.B.E. students will be making their performance debut with a routine choreographed by Brigitte.
Here’s your tip!
When working with hot glue, keep a glass of ice water nearby to dunk your fingers if you get burned.
Especially if you’re using real hot glue and not the low-temp stuff. Touching the hot gun tip is bad enough, but getting glue on your skin… Yowch! Immediate application of the ice water might save you from a bad blister.

Wish I had this tip a few days ago! Got a bad burn on my left middle finger from this very thing from gluing feathers to a new costume. 🙂
Ouch!
