What is cyanoacrylate accelerator for?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Grocery/B...tor/B005H0X8OS

In aeromodelling, superglue is used on all sorts of materials and there are many different types available: thick, thin, medium, low vapour, for foam. There are also accellerators and these can be very useful when the material has little or no moisture in it or when you are holding the parts together wating for the glue to grab. - Mike Between the ages of 10 and 15, I used to be a keen aeromodeller. Unfortunately, in those days superglue was still many years from being invented. It would have been a godsend for doing instant between-flight repairs. For many years, I have suffered from the tips of my fingers spontaneously developing cracks and fissures - and these are surprisingly agonising despite appearing to be absolutely insignificant. I use superglue to immobilise the tissue and to create an artificial scab (steam from the spout of a boiling kettle helps it to go off rapidly!). After the glue has hardened, the pain relief is immediate. Does moisturiser not help? Yes - but not a lot. The fissures actually seem to start deep under the skin, and work their way to the surface. Then it hurts! Unfortunately, my fingertip problem precludes any possibility of me ever being able to play a guitar like Mark Knopfler. I'm surprised the glue goes any deeper than the moisturiser. -- When advised that France had announced it would not assist, become allied with, or otherwise support the US in any war on Iraq, former US Presidential candidate Ross Perot reportedly said: "Having to go to war without France is sorta like having to go deer hunting without an accordion". |

I had a colleague with very dry cracked hands, he'd use cream a few times a day. Might not have been the same condition of course - it wasn't his fingertips but his whole hands.
