CHIPPED THE BLADE!!!!

ouch!

I bet that was a golly gee whiz moment!!

oh yes guys, Lisa in Spain with her sister and parents, and can't leave Stevie to go to hospital so I used thin CA to seal the cut and dressed with swab and electrical tape LOL, couple of scotch whiskeys and right as rain

I used to see guys on building sites patch up even a deep cut with tape like that, always worked too.
I believe super glue was originally made to seal cuts and wounds on the battlefield, no need for suturing etc.

oh yeah guys, it was deep, chipped the blade on the bone. The CA certainly did the trick. A friend who is a nurse took a look and said it was better than stitches LOL

that comment made go and look on wiki cos i knew rock climbers use it

CA glue was in veterinary use for mending bone, hide, and tortoise shell by the early 1970s or before. Harry Coover said in 1966 that a CA spray was used in the Vietnam War to reduce bleeding in wounded soldiers until they could be brought to a hospital. Butyl cyanoacrylate has been used medically since the 1970s. In the US, due to its potential to irritate the skin, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did not approve its use as a medical adhesive until 1998 with Dermabond.[9] Research has demonstrated the use of cyanoacrylate in wound closure as being safer and more functional than traditional suturing (stitches).[10] The adhesive has demonstrated superior performance in the time required to close a wound, incidence of infection (suture canals through the skin's epidermal, dermal, and subcutaneous fat layers introduce extra routes of contamination),[10] and final cosmetic appearance.[11][12]

Some rock climbers use cyanoacrylate to repair damage to the skin on their fingertips.[13][14] Glue covered fingertips do not leave fingerprints. Similarly, stringed-instrument players can form protective finger caps (in addition to calluses) with cyanoacrylates. While the glue is not very toxic and wears off quickly with shed skin, applying large quantities of glue and its fumes directly to the skin can cause chemical burns.

The original cyanoacrylates (the chemical name for the glue) were discovered in 1942 in a search for materials to make clear plastic gun sights for the war, and scientists stumbled upon a formulation that stuck to everything that it came in contact with. However, cyanoacrylates were quickly rejected by American researchers precisely because they stuck to everything! In 1951, cyanoacrylates were rediscovered by Eastman Kodak researchers Harry Coover and Fred Joyner, who recognized its true commercial potential, and it was first sold as a commercial product in 1958.
