Thread: Super Glue

I know a fella that's a ductwork fabricator and he uses duct tape to close his wounds. Really.

I'd bet if you ate enough apple seeds you'd get more than a bit green....

A better wound dressing would include a steri-strip or butterfly and glue that to the skin and not rely on the glue for support.

I did a google search for " thiosulfates naturally produced by the body". a lot about Sodium Thiosulfate came up. That stuff is suppose to cure most anything! Hearing loss, platinum in your hair cells etc. I didn't see anything about apple seeds but it is suppose to help with eating to many Apricot pits. I was suprised not to see that it cured impotence.

I have a deep scar inbetween my eyebrows. Many years ago I went to the house for lunch during a day of cutting firewood. I brought the axe along because I had been hard on it that day. I learned an important lesson...When taping an axe handle push on the axe and pull on the tape! The tape broke, blood all over the kitchen. My mom put a butterfly on it and things were good until in bed that night I tore it off. Especially the older I get people just think it is a wrinkle.

So that's where the axe stuck in the head for Halloween comes from... I never knew.

Spray CA was issued to medics in Viet Nam.
Medical CA doesn't get as hot as regular CA glue. I had some ultra thin CA glue spill on my pant leg/thigh area at work one day. It left a 1st degree burn on my leg.
Methacrylate=PMMA=Polymethylmethacrylate=Plexiglas/Acrylic. I've used generic superglue with CA+PMMA. It cures a lot slower than straight CA

I have to reapply CA once a day when I use it on a cut, but it beats band aids and/or stitches. Never had any scarring with it.
I have used electrical tape and nonwoven cotton sponges as bandages. It holds very well. I don't use duct tape for bandages because I use electrical tape at work, but not duct tape. Plus, electrical tape is the width of a band aid. Handy.

I hear that methanol will cause brain damage if you drink it, but I don't think it applies to this thread.

This sounds like a sticky subject!!

At Dollar General they have medical super glue for cuts. And, it's only 1 dollar for 2 little tubes. Put one in the shaving area, and the other someplace as a spare.

I'm bound to add to this thread, but don't think it will be a sticky.
