Thread: Superglue

Wow! I really did it. I mean, I sliced my ear just perfectly....layed it open like I was fileting a fish.

So, my erstwhile blade slingers: superglue. The only thing that stopped the bleading. Consider it and use it. Holds where no bandage will.

Best....J

Absolutely. I use super glue for all my nasty cuts. I use the thicker gel type, and it forms a sort of skin over the would. By the time the superglue wears off, the would is healed. It keeps out all the nasty gunk, and I think it makes it heal much faster than just covering it with a band aid.

I have a tube of superglue in every first aid kit, it really is the best bandage for slice-style wounds and I've found it heals much much quicker too.

SUPER GLUE!! Manly YES!!! I use it too!!!!

I sharpen knives...a lot.

So, by the nature of their use, my fingers have gotten "nicked" several times. No big deal.


A few times they've been out-right filleted!!!

Run to the sink, wash, hydro peroxide....and SUPERGLUE GEL!!!!

Hands down better than any bandage. Had kept me from having to get stitches at least 3 times. I dare say it does a much better job than stitches also. Although the last time I had stitches was childhood.

Yep! SG works good. Use it all the time. Started when I worked in the ER. Many ER docs are using it now. I use it all the time in lieu of getting stitches. Can't say I advise that.

i had a eyebrow cut and it was hanging over the eye and i put it back on with sg andduck tape that was in 82 so it has worked for a long time

Superglue in all (auto & home) first aid kit is something that I highly recommend. I had a framing subcontractor to lay his leg open with a skil saw, bad. It held it all together lessening blood loss until we got him to the hospital. ER doc said it was a good move.

If your fingertips are prone to cracking in the winter, superglue to the rescue. Get the kind with a brush in the bottle. Cracks disappear, no pain, no bleeding, finding this out was a blessing. Use an emery board as things heal to smooth the area.

Does it hurt/sting a lot when applied? Is it sterile?
