Hot Tip of the day

[KurtHuhn]

From what I've gleaned through various bullshit sorta sources, wasn't cyano-acrylate glue basically designed as a flesh glue? I was under the impression that it was a Vietnam-era technology being tested as "instant stitches" in the field. Could be wrong.

Not specifically, but it works, and it's better than bleeding all over the place while you're grabbing the box of band-aids.

Plain old CA glue is fine for oopsies and mistakes. Anything bigger than an inch or so and you should probably seek professional help.

I just decided a long time ago never to cut myself again.

Mine are plastic.

Aaah! I'm misinformed then.. Wonderful tip, I have been wondering how to get some spraypaint droplets from my glasses!

On super-glue stitches:

I was preparing for a mission trip to rural South Africa and grabbing last-minute supplies at Walmart. When I decided to grab some superglue for who-knows-what my friend Erin incredulously asked what on Earth I would need it for. About 48 hours or so later we had landed in East London and were on the farm where we were to stay--and a team member had (foolishly) busted his chin wide open. Erin, who used to be a veterinary technician had the privilege of gluing him up since it was the middle of the night and we were hours of driving away from any place where he could get treatment. The moral of the story is--always have some super glue.
