Yeah, but I forgot that I had the Dentemp stuff. I also don't remember what I had for breakfast sometimes.

I have to say one thing, you write very very well for a thirteen year old. Someone has been paying attention in English, and/or had a great teacher...

superglue is a cyanoacrylate, a substance containing a Carbon-nitrogen group. Other items containing this group are HCN, hydrogen cyanide. I can't find any ingestion toxicity information in a quick search, apparently because the toxicologists figure that having lips glued shut is a bigger issue than the longer term effects of CN ingetsion. Go figure. They didn't anticipate crazy anita. Also: apparently super glue reacts with cotton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate) causing heat production, flame and burns. Might be an interesting addition to the fire making kit, subject to appropriate experimentation by Blast.

Just tried it out, it doesn't work, I tried a cotton ball(which I made sure was pure cotton) and some Krazy Glue, it didn't work, but it did feel warm, right now I'm just hoping my trash can doesn't catch fire. Right now, im typing with little shreds of cotton glued to my finger tips! It was all for you guys!

I observed what looked like smoke using a dot of superglue to hold some thread in place after whipping some braided cord.

After some experimenting, I had a few wisps of smoke, a little bit of browning on white mercerized cotton thread and cotton balls, two empty tubes of super glue, and a headache. No fire.

I didn't even get smoke, maybe my cotton was either to compresses or not compressed enough?

I was working on a dark surface, with difused light off the side. It was a very few whisps- in full light, or against a light background, I don't know if I'd have seen it.

That is what is so cool about being a kid or teenager, you have the opportunity to surpass a person's expectation of you. Once one becomes an adult, what was once considered exceptional is now expected.

I've got the Dentemp kit w/clove oil, and just bought Refilit Cherry after reading some good real world reviews.
