What about bleeding? How do you get adhesion with all the blood?


Doesn't seem to have any impact that I've noticed, and I've used it for
both "bleeding like a pig" and "practically bloodless" wounds, with good
results. Don't ask me the science behind it... All I can say for certain
(and all I care about when I use it) is "it just works". Maybe it's
magic?

(Of course, I wouldn't expect it to work too well for arterial bleeding,
but if you've got something like that going on, you've likely got more
problems than a drop of super glue will be able to fix, and need to
either be dialling 911, or otherwise making your way to a pro ASAP!)


What happens to the glue when the wound heals? Is it absorbed by the
body? Work its way to the surface?

I'd assume it must get absorbed, since I've never seen any clear sign of
it "working its way out" when I've used it on myself. Or perhaps it DID
work out, but I just didn't notice... Hard to say for sure. Next time,
I'll have to see if I can make a for-sure determination, I guess. Just
don't expect me to be doing any intentional self-inflicted wounds so I
can make the observations!
