The ultimate garage: super glue first aid

[Bob DAmato]

Im a bit of a klutz and have had more stitches than frankenstein. Ive 
worked on projects in my garage that have required more than one trip a 
day to the ER for stitches. Ive used everything from electrical tape to 
duct tape to doing my own stitches (not recommended!) ouch.  Finally my 
doc gave me a box of 'derma bond' its the medical version of superglue. 
Stuff is amazing, doesnt hurt and really stays along with sealing it so 
no more grease gets in.  You can actually find it on ebay once in a 
while too.
