I was contracted to refinish a business desk . I brought all my supplies to do the job. I put my long hair into a ponytail thinking that I will know at all times where my hair is. Not that it takes a walk on it own but anyways....I decided to place the gallon of urethane on top of the office chair. I crawled under the desk as a mechanic does with a car and I started to work not thinking of my hair. As I back out and decided to kneel up in front of the desk my hair was exactly the height of the can on the office desk. Not thinking and being so involved with my work I was finishing the front of the desk and I decided that I needed to back up a tiny bit to see my work. Of course I felt something sticky by then. My whole length of hair went into the can of urethane, If anyone including the ones that uses Elmers think that urethane is a good hair product , forget it!!! I screamed my client came running into the office. He quickly gave me a plastic bag so that I can place my whole lenght of hair into the plastic bag and I tied the bag . Now you can imagine how stupid I look. I race down the roads not caring if I get a speeding ticket and I quickly ran home and dip my hair in paint thinnner several times as the urethane was a oil base product. Then I jump into the shower and had to wash my hair as least ten times repeating each shampoo procedure,.This was years ago and some people still tease me about it.

Diane,I was dying laughing. You are so funny. I felt horror when I heard you describe the fact that you were under the desk need the urethane. I thought...oh noooo.. And it happened. Then the description of you in the plastic bag was too funny.Thank you for sharing that. Thanks for the topic. This has been really great. :-)Karen> I was contracted to refinish a business desk .
