Anyone ever glue a cut closed and then have any complications as a result?

Seen a few bad cuts closed up this way offshore when a hospital was hours or days away. Not exactly plastic surgeon's touch, but it was first done in the field during Viet Nam. ER doc told me betadine was a better cleanser than peroxide.I have used it on myself probably half a dozen times. As a carpenter, I had had more than my share of cuts, most to my hands. Haven't had any infection issues yet, but I try to make every effort to be sure the wound is clean. Works good.
