Yes!!! Superglue is a great wound sealer. My great neice busted open her little head and we glued it back together. The hospital was just too far to get to in a good time. Later we took her to the dr. and he laughed and said, that is Perfect. It has healed with very little scaring. Good stuff. Stings a little I understand at first but worth considering.

Thanks for the reminder. I had a friend whose wife was a nurse, and they always kept it on hand at their house.

they use the same thing in hospitals just a different name.

I've never been able to use super glue more than once or twice. Always seems to be rock solid after one use. Yes, I THINK I'm sealing it tightly.

Will have to buy 10 tubes of the stuff, hope it's still a buck.

well worth it if you can close a wound without stitches.

and it works far better and is cheaper than any of the liquid bandages on the market that i've used

I hate it in my first aid kit too! But, like SkyOwl's Wife, I can't use it more than once or twice before it's too hard. I've tried everything to prevent it from happening. I may go check out fingernail glue (used to hold fake nails on)...it comes in small tubes and may be cheaper.

i have had the same problem with getting only one or two uses out of a tube before it is worthless. so i have switched to the time one time use tubes. comes in a pack of three or more. also i use more of the gel type glue than the watery stuff seems to work better and dry time is a little slower giving you time to work. when i use this for cuts on the hand sometimes i will sweat and the glue comes loose around the edges and will snag on clothing making the cut even worse when it tears off. but other than that its great stuff. i use it for all kinds of stuff including in saltwater aquarium applications as it is reef safe.
