should be avoided.

General precautions for chemical agents (adhesives, greases, IPA)
Observe all safety precautions relevant to the country of operation. As a general rule,
protective overalls, gloves and goggles should be worn when handling these
chemical agents, but different countries may have additional requirements which
must be observed.
Ensure that all chemical agents are handled in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions, and that suitable protective clothing is worn.
Make sure that the working area is well ventilated, and that chemical substances are
not left exposed. Observe good hygiene practices; do not eat, drink or smoke when
handling chemicals.
Cyanoacrylate adhesives bond instantly on contact. If skin is bonded, it can usually
be released by a
gentle peeling action; above all, do not panic and avoid direct
pulling on bonded skin.
Read the manufacturer's instructions before using any chemical agent.
