Hey kids,
I had an idea again. So I performed this highly scientific study.
Introduction
U know wound adhesive spray? It's basically super glue you spray on wounds to close them and prevent germs and dirt from entering.
Theory
If we share 50% of our DNA with bananas, then I have a 50/50 chance that it can also work on plants.
To verify this highly scientific theory, I made a small experiment.
Steps to reproduce
Step 1: Choose a victim.
I chose this poor motherfucker.

Step 2: Surgery
Grab the most disgusting and dullest knife you can find, and cut a dent in it.


Step 3: Spray adhesive on the cut
(I accidentally made a carnivorous plant? Cool!)

Step 4: Wait a day
If we just would have left it as it, it would be absolutely dead by now in the summers heat.
But it isn't, surprise!

Learning
That stuff closes wounds on plants very good. I see no necrosis, despite probably hitting the vegetable artery. It's like nothing ever happened.
As a professional idiot I approve that method and will from now on use it when I'm accidentally beheading one of my beloved greens again.
Thanks for listening to my TED talk, see ya at my nobel prize award
Excellent citizen science! I wonder how the performance compares to say commercial tree wound paint and no treatment as a control?
I've always just glued my deep cuts together with normal super glue since the liquid bandaid brand stuff is identical, just really marked up.
Never seen the spray like that before but seems like a great format for scrapes and stuff that can't be glued together like stitches. Definitely going to pick some up!
The adhesive spray is actually quite a bit different. Mainly, it doesn't dry as fast as regular superglue, because there's a slower polymerizing agent in there. This hardening is an exothermic reaction, and gets hot. The other one is better skin compatible.
