Holy Smoke....Literally!!!
I'm not sure what the *&^%*(^ happened but I was tying bucktail jigs tonight and some sort of chemical reaction happened.
I tied in a couple of bucktails onto the jig and put a little Zap CA, the pink stuff, on to seal the fibers. All of a sudden, there was smoke coming from the jig. It stopped after about 2 seconds of smoking so I finished the jig. This was the only jig this happened to out of the 15 I tied!
So I'm putting away my stuff and empty the trash bin from the vise. I pull out some "Stuck" tail and get the Zap on my skin and it starts burning again!! Stopped fairly quick and did not even leave a mark but WEIRD!!
Any ideas??   |

yes..
i'd call the manufacturers and ask for their R&D department.
A scientist should be able to explain the phenomenon.

Yup. And their marketing dept, who should be sending you a case of the stuff, while being thankful their product didn't burn your house down!! It's all about the delivery!  |

Sure, I've smoked two part mixtures before when mixed hot, Steve, but isn't the Zap right out of the tube?
My rocket scientist little brother mixed a HOT batch of resin and had it on the hull when it combusted  That was a fun phone call! |

I had a similar experience when trying to glue 2 pieces (different colors) of zonker strip together. I applied it to 1 strip and as I was getting ready to mate the two together I started seeing smoke and there was a really putrid smell. That was the last time I tried to do that.

Be careful the smoke will glue your eyelids shut. Almost happened to me.
