Wait wait. Super glue on a cut? that stuff is toxic last time i checked. It will also rip off your skin when you take it off.

I am an ER Trauma RN. We use a glue called Dermabond. It is a $100 version of superglue. Just make sure you have cleaned the cut well so that you don't seal in bacteria. Also, if the cut is more that 1/8 inch deep or more than 1 inch long, you should have it checked out by a doctor for nerve/tendon/ligament damage.

Superglue?

NOT SO FAST DAR COWBOY!

From an avid hunter to Search and Rescue to assistant clinic administer, Superglue is not a good idea at all and here is why. I believe there is toxicity in the glue and will in fact react with other matter causing burns to name one. True you may seal the cut but you also seal in all the infectious materials and prevent drainage. When you go to the ER, they will scrub the wound but first they must remove the Superglue causing further trauma to the wound and that will really hurt.

So what should you do? First control the bleeding with pressure then wash it out with clean water if you have it or carefully wipe it with a clean cloth. I carry a small jar of Vaseline® Petroleum Jelly which is a mixture of mineral oils, paraffin and microcrystalline waxes. As some of you know Vaseline® has more uses that WD40. After cleaning the wound, use a small amount to coat the wound then cover the area. This keeps out and lets out the bad stuff also to keep the wound moist.

Vaseline® and magnesium stick is my primary fire starter rather than water proof matches. A 2x2 cotton patch saturated will burn 6 to 10 minutes.

All the old carpenters and electricians just put a wrap of electricians tape on it and kept on workin

Anybody ever heard of a steptick pencil? Maybe not correct spelling but its the same as we guys use on our face after shaving. I've dug it into a cut when a cut won't stop bleeding on my finger and it works.
