Put a bottle of Gorilla Glue in the microwave thinking it will behave like old honey and soften up.

It becomes a molten, sticky lava that spews everywhere when you try to squeeze the hot bottle. I swear to God it went everywhere. I was finding it in places I didn't touch (I swear I didn't touch!) 20 minutes later trying to clean it up.

Cost of lesson:

1.) My absolute favorite tee shirt in thirty years (from Arena Training Facility)
2.) My favorite pair of bedroom pants
3.) 1 Brand new pair of bedroom shoes
4.) Two catalogs (I was using as a work surface)
5.) Half can of Acetone
6.) 1 Entire roll of paper towels

Anyone else have a bright idea but later discovered it was about the stupidest, most costly thing you've done (in comparison to the cost of materials you used)?
 
At least I didn't see a new Microwave in the list
It didn't "explode" until I attempted to squeeze some of the hardened glue onto the work area I was trying to glue to another piece.

Next time I'll just get off my lazy but and go to Walmart (I was on my way out anyhow to buy some Dijon mustard for a standing rib roast).
