The ultimate garage: super glue first aid

[Casting Fool]

From: "Ed Kellock" <ekellock at adelphia.net>
> I just heard of this method of first aid a few weeks ago.  Two guys I work
with swear by it.  Makes sense, although one guy said he put the super glue
in the wound instead of using it to keep the wound closed.  That sounded a
bit scary to me, but he's still got all his digits...

It was developed during the Vietnam era for combat wounds.  It eventually
made it into the civilian market, and is surprisingly adaptable to closing
up those garage-related cuts, or gluing construction worker's hard-hats to
steel beams...

Just make sure that the wound is clean before you seal it up with the glue.
Nasty effect if you seal in the infectious agent.

Oh, and DON'T use super glue (cynoacrylate, or CA glue for short)
accelerator to quicken the curing of the glue on a wound.  The accelerated
curing results in a lot of heat.  Don't ask...
