I remember when Super Glue and Krazy Glue and all those other quick drying glues came on the market, and people were inadvertently gluing their fingers together. I was working in the emergency room one night when a girl came in who had gotten glue on her fingers and wiped her mouth without thinking and glued her lips shut. Also, heard about people who glued eyelids shut, etc. You have to be careful with that stuff.
I don't remember what we used to get the girl's lips unglued, but lips are delicate tissue so you have to be really careful. I thought I was too smart to do such a thing, but what happened? More than once I glued fingers together while working on repair jobs. You can't pry and pull on the tissue. I tried acetone and everythings else, but finally learned to wear gloves when using it.
Daddy made us laugh by keeping a tube of Krazy Glue close at hand to seal up cuts on his fingers. When he'd get a small cut on his fingers working around the farm. he'd let it bleed a little to flush it out, wash his hand with Dial soap, then put glue on the cut. We thought that was funny, but the glue would make an airtight seal for a couple of days. Ha! He should have patented that idea, because years later a surgical glue was compounded so surgeons could glue wounds together. Daddy was ahead of his time.
A couple of nights ago I was cutting vegetables and sliced into the side of a finger. I thought I'd try the glue treatment. I got down the little bottle of Gorilla glue I bought two years ago. It takes very little Gorilla Glue to bind things together, so I still had almost a full bottle. It was hard as a rock. I tried microwaving it for a minute. Still rocky. I couldn't force not one drop out of that rock, and threw it away.
Hey Gorilla Glue people, why not sell it in little disposable one use packets? That's a great idea, if I say so myself.
