No question, it works. One of the big breakthroughs of vietnam was our learning you can spray it or simply drop it on holes in vital organs and seal up the wounds; or, so I have been told. I am sure when they add that USP to it that it costs a great deal more. jofarr

They actually use superglue as a substitute for sutures in some medical applications. I once had a nasty but fairly clean slit in my wrist (no, it's not what you're thinking) and I superglued it rather than go to the emergency room. I suppose the medical stuff is sterile and all that. Probably costs $100 per quarter oz., too. I just used Krazy Glue and I'm still alive. I threw some in my flight bag in case of a really bad landing in a remote place. Handy stuff.
