Strange uses for CA?

Signed-In Members Don't See This Ad
As folks have pointed out it is FDA approved for sutures, it is especially popular among cosmetic surgeons. I carry it in my field first aid kit right next to the tampons.......yes tampons, they are great for dressing puncture wounds. Yes I am being serious.

:rotfl:ROFL!!! These are "normal" ... um ... uses? for CA, but nobody's used it to glue in their teeth?!:smile-big:

My doctor has told me to use super glue on cuts, so it must be ok. Right?

Gluing washers, nuts and wrenches is a great tip! Thanks for that one.

I actually did that once. Was camping in the Rockies and a front tooth cap came off. Super glued it back on and it lasted about 6 months!!!
 
I know of a guy who cleans his lathe with it! Really, the rag sticks to a rapidly spinning blank and clears away all those chips in the way!!! I have never seen it ok, well ok I have seen it but it was not me!!! :tongue:

Takes a real man to admit that he carries tampons.....LOL.....Our unit used to carry them in our first aid kits. We had a new guy come in and he brought his own from home (his wife helped him), they were pads with wings.We all had a great laugh at that one and he never lived it down, but he had a good sense of humor about it.
 
The surgical stuff isn't as toxic as the stuff we use, I have both legs glued from the knees to just above the ankles and about 10 or 12 inches of my chest superglued back together after a Triple Bypass, I asked the surgeon and it is a different stuff than we get, I think it has less Cyanide in it.
 
As anyone with a little prostratitus knows, when you got to go, you got to go NOW. The urge hit me right after I spilled a little CA on myself. There's a picture. Nuf said.
 
Neighbor is a surgeon who used CA to close incisions (medical substance probably 100 times cost of grocery store tube). Also recommended to close cuts in finger cuts...but clean wound first to prevent infection (ADMHIKT). Also can be used to make mends when you tear toilet tissue....joking...really...perhaps only non-use :smile:.
 
WORKS GREAT for teaching dogs to "sit"! The first time is a little time consuming, but after that, all you have to do is show the dog the bottle:)

JUST KIDDING! I love animals, no need to contact SPCA, AGAIN:)
