do not want to start a fight but isn’t this totally normal. in middle school you’re like what 11 years old? I didn’t know any of this shit at that age and that has not made my life difficult as an adult even remotely. in particular I was shit at touch typing and remember being miserable in class because I was horrible at it and now I’m perfectly comfortable touch typing because I’m no longer 11 years old. I’ve taught several semesters of upper year undergraduates (meaning all of them were over the age of 21-22) in a similar coding/technical class setting who didn’t know anything about windows file structures and it was fine, they didn't blow up their computers or bring about the downfall of civilisation, they eventually picked it up over the 12 weeks of the semester because that’s how learning works

This is why you need to be careful with E6000 fumes!!!!!
I used E6000 (outside, and with a mask!) to glue down a skin top piece on a wig I’m working on, instead of my normal UHU glue, because I really wanted the flexibility you get from using E6000 for my own physical comfort. I didn’t put anything in between the wig and the foam head because I knew I wouldn’t actually be getting glue on the foam.
Anyway, I left it outside to cure for 24 hours and upon further checking, the fumes were trapped a bit due to there being no air circulation where the skin top piece was, and this caused the foam to melt as pictured.
I routinely see people using E6000 inside without a mask and just complaining that “it smells”. This is a good example of how toxic it can actually get.
E6000 will in fact glue nearly anything to nearly anything and dry flexibly, but it is an absolute toxic nightmare chemical. E6000 is known to cause anything from short term vomiting due to acute toxicity to literally cancer if you’re overly exposed. Please! Read the safety sheets! Minimize your exposure! Don’t work with it without a respirator! If you can use anything else that’s less toxic, use something else that’s less toxic! E6000 should be reserved only for when you actually need its properties and even then should be treated like the terrifying chemical death generator it is. Those fumes are the smell of brain cell death and poison. The headache you get from it is from the cell damage it is causing. Don’t listen to crafters online who rhinestone with entire tubes of this in their living rooms! This is A SCARY FREAKING SUBSTANCE!
I’m worried in particular about how much the cosplay community jumps to e6000 over literally anything else without realizing that while it’s sold next to delightfully non toxic substances like tacky glue and UHU all purpose, this glue is extremely toxic and will in fact hurt you. Please make sure you think before you use this and warn your friends how scary it is!
