    What does that then? Crafting an egg box viking long boat with the boy yesterday, superglue on the egg box led to smoke.

    DANGER! superglue has cyanide in doesn’t it?

    It’s a cyanoacrylate adhesive, it breaks down naturally in the body, and is perfectly safe. I use it regularly to stick cuts together.
    It can be a skin irritant, and the vapour can irritate mucous membranes, but it’s regularly used in medical and veterinary practices.

    It’s only dangerous if you become sensitized to it.

    Isn’t that why it was first invented? To glue wounds together in the two World wars?

    I stuck a cut on my hand to a cut on my face once. I wouldn’t do it regularly.

    I’ve had neoprene smoke when gluing it with super glue too. It gets hot. I’m another that sticks minor cuts shut with it. Works a treat 😁

    From that link in the post above yours:
    Warning…
    I would just like to say now, the superglue you buy in the shops itself is not suitable for use as a medical adhesive [9]. Commercial superglue is made up primarily of short-chain cyanoacrylates such as methylcyanoacrylate or ethylcyanoacrylate which are not compatibile with human tissue. This is because short-chain cyanoacrylates degrade quite quickly and have toxic degredation products which could make the wound even worse! To guard against this, specially made longer-chain cyanoacrylates need to be used for medical applications.

    I heard it was the Vietnam War. But yep I’ve glued cuts with it before…

    Medical glue from boots is what I use – because that’s what it’s for

    Yeah but they always say shit like that so that people think they need the more expensive ‘medical version’. It’s fine, just like instead of expensive eye wash, I use screen wash. 👍

    Stings a little but it’s basically the same.

    You can glue yourself to the DLR with it.
