i had heard of this for quite a while and never really had the need for it
till tonight , happened to have some super glue
slipped washing my chefs knife , go figure what glides through pork roast goes through thumb mighty easy also.
good clean cut not quite bad enough to need stitches but enough that it was going to be very unpleasant opening up all the time
I really expected it to burn and it didn't
any of you use the super glue?
do you re-apply at some point
I used the , wash it ,dry it , squeeze it tight shut and glue over the top method as I had heard that was best
if this works it might be the best 99 cents I ever spent at Harbor freight.

I've heard medical professionals use it too. Makes sense , keeps the flesh tight together better than most methods - less scarring.
Sorry to hear about your fingers , hope ya heal up quick.

it is more a really inconvenient location than all that deep , got it across the thumb knuckle.
for a guy on blood thinners I though it stopped bleeding very quick with good pressure holding it shut after cleaning it

Use it for cuts works pretty good and seems to heal up faster, just be careful not to glue yourself....

Used it 3X last month wrap cut in paper towel slip on a latex glove until it stops bleeding flush with peroxide dry then glue.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Used it several times. You have to be careful not to glue your fingers to the cut when squeezing it shut! I used it once on my Jack Russell when he jumped on a much bigger dog and has his scalp opened up. It smoked like crazy for a few seconds!

I heard that's what it was invented for, but that may be an old wives tale. JMO. Heal up quick.

A friend of mine got his hand and wrist bit up by a small dog and the folks at an urgent care used glue to fix him up. It didn't air out properly, got infected and his hand swelled up like a muskmelon. The doctor that later attended him said that they never should have glued a dog bite.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Yup all the time. Hospitals and surgeons use it often. Actually they use liquid stitches. I worked stocking the hospital, we carried and supplied it all the time. It also comes in certain surgical kits which are pre-made from the medical company.
One time I was helping my buddy with his undercover car to prep it for a sting operation. I happened to cut open my knee all the way to the knee cap in the process. My wife got me Liquid Bandage. That one burned but certainly worked
