Of the dolly suncatcher. I saw from gluing the head on for the second time, a bit of the glue leaked out onto the glass, but maybe I can pick that off later. If not, at least the suncatcher's together. When I picked up the suncatcher to take it outside, I made sure to pick it up by the chain, so as not to break off the head again. Now the part where I glued the hand back on is drying. I hope that the sun comes out before I bring it in to finish drying tonight.

When you go to start picking off the glue, try using an "orange stick". They're those things with the rubber tip that is angled so that you can push cuticles back easily without hurting your nails. I have found that they are great for dealing with things like glue goosh (leaking out). I keep one on hand for all my crafting projects, just in case. I found that the angle of the end is great for pushing stuffing in along the seams on my teddy bear paws and feet. So often the stuffing won't get into the seams, and it makes for an awful looking stuffing job. So, I keep Revlon and other makeup manufacturers in business with my buying their "cuticle sticks" or orange sticks. Plus, they are gentle and easy to manipulate.

When I glue something, I try to leave it alone for a few hours. I had a glued corner come off this morning (speaker work), but I think I know what the problem was.
