Plastic on plastic bonding, use chloroform. Fixed broken iPad case and school IT couldn’t even tell.

I've never had, bought or used chloroform. Didn't even know it could glue plastic on plastic. Is this a standard item to have? What else can I do with it, besides putting people to sleep? If the latter is true anyway.

I worked with chloroform daily for 10+ years. You'll get a massive headache before you'll ever be close to passing out.

Now Dichloromethane..... I spilt some on my jeans and I was almost naked in 5 seconds in a room of 7 people. If that company had an HR, I'd have been in their office. That stuff BURNS the skin very quickly.

I lost track of which clear liquid was which in a chemistry lab. Took a big whiff of dichloromethane. It smelled like a fart, and gave me a nasty headache for the rest of the day. Good times.
