If the cloth had been touching skin I would have got a burn. Don;t know what
temp it got to or whether it was smoke or steam rising from the patch. It
turned into a burnt hole with a surround of metal-hard ex-fabric around.
Probably a volume to surface area effect. Cigarette papers are paassed
through a multi EHT discharge process to create millions? of micro pores in
the paper to assist "draw".
Don't know what my kecks were made from, as label is washed out , but
presumably polyster and cotton fibres.

Once upon a time I watched an engineer spill a large pot of superglue on his
bench
he tried to wipe it up with an old cotton cloth only to find it on fire and
stuck to his hands.
Being helpful I went over and put out the flames and the smouldering cloth
only to find
my feet stuck to the floor!
You would have thought that I would have learnt from this but 10 years later
when someone annoyed me I superglue his shoe laces together, cotton again
and very worrying when your shoes are smouldering and you can't get them off
cause some idiot has glued them.
If you read this Roger "SORRY"

sounds fishy.

what use would anyone have for a LARGE POT of superglue?
You use the stuff in drops.
A large pot would harden up pretty quick,before you could use much of it.

And how do you glue shoelaces when the guy is wearing the shoes??
Crawl under his desk?

A joke I played on a Hooters waitress was to superglue a salt shaker to the
table,and when she came around to fill the shakers at the end of her
shift,she couldn't get the shaker off the table. We were all laughing so
hard. B-)
Then another regular who thought he was going to be a hero came
over,grabbed it and yanked hard,and it still didn't come loose! I loved it.
He looked like a fool.
Then the "hero" thought about it,gave it a rap sideways,and it popped
loose.

When superglue first hit the market in the UK, I remember numerous incidents
hitting the news of people getting glued to public bog seats and having to
be carried out with a blanket over them by the fire & rescue service.

I just can't imagine anyone not inspecting the bog seat before sitting down!

I usually have to clean it first regardless,because pigs won't flip up the
toilet seat before peeing.

I still don't believe the "large pot" story.
