Nowdays I just cover the wound in superglue
How’s that working out? Never tried it.
Surprisingly well, doesn't come off even in places that move a lot or when you shower or wash hands etc
Do you use like a sty stick to prevent the glue and blood mixing or just drop it on there?
I use a band aid until there's no more bleeding then sanitize and just apply glue strait from the tube. I've also used some spray-on bandaids but they are expensive and super glue is cheap and usually already lying around.
Noice, I’ll try that. Thanks for the tips.
There's also "liquid bandage" stuff, which is just superglue in a glass bottle with a brush applicator. The bottle prevents the glue from drying out, and the brush is really handy for spreading the glue around past the edges of the wound.
Not quite just super glue - medical super glue uses a slightly different formulation that doesn't irritate the wound like regular super glue.
