I would hesitate to use super glue on anything other than a superficial cut, this is not sterile like what is used medically. :wink:

I've used super glue to hold small cuts and cracked finger closed for years.. but I discovered a nifty trick.. Instead of using my fingers to hold the cut/crack closed, I use tweezers.. I just put the tweezer on each side of the cut, squeeze them a bit, it closes the cut and I don't ever accidently glue my fingers together!! Works like a champ! I also use it to stop the bleeding when I clip one of those dang little skin tags off.. clip, glue.. no blood, no soreness... I've tried to get my husband to try it for a razor nick, but he thinks his steptic pencil works okay.. yeah, and burns like fire.. silly man, ought to listen now and then.

I use that all the time. any time there's a cut in a place that moves a lot, the glue is good. It's also good for bigger cuts, ones that don't require stitches but need a little help to heal properly. It's a good thing to have in an emergency first-aid kit also.

Don't ever use it on your glasses. I broke my frames on the way to a funeral several hundred miles away (several day trip) and we glued it back together. I couldn't wear the glasses for almost a week due to the fumes.
