Simple question about CA glue...

hehe!

Don't forget that CA was originally developed for sticking flesh together when it had been damaged...

...and still is in some cases in preference to sutures.

I've used it many times to staunch the flow of blood from knife cuts and (once) from running two fingertips into a planer blade.

In that latter case, I wish I had pressed the edges of the cuts together before slathering on the CA. I got too much under the skin and inside the wounds.

The folks who sutured my fingers laughed when they heard how I'd stopped the bleeding.

Both fingertips have healed completely. I think I can see one tiny scar, but I'm not sure an objective observer would see it.

Yep, sure was. The original iirc was repackaged as "Hot Stuff". Oh, geez that was...anyway. It sure is handy to have around when you slice your self open and don't have time to get a band-aid or 4.

that MAY not be ENTIRELY correct

I once had my thumb trapped in a car door which broke the nail most of the way across at the root. An application of CA worked wonders as a repair. I only had to re-apply it about three times before the break finally grew out.

Thats where I am going wrong !

Need to damage the flesh FIRST !

I mistakenly thought it was to attach *me* to *me* or *me* to the *model* >:-)

Damage isn't mandatory...

...carelessness with the CA bottle is all that's needed to become well and truly stuck - to almost anything :-)))
