i should probably have these things with me. i had band aids but because of the location of the cut they were of no use. |

I've used it a few time and it worked fine in a pinch, Great for clean slices......If you can put some bacitracin and a band-aid on it instead I would do that though

I've done it quite a few times, it burns. The trick is to squeeze the cut shut and a cluple of drops on the slice. Holds quite well.

I do it all of the time. As was already stated squeeze the cut closed and glue the surface skin closed. It works best on clean, not ragged cuts. It will sting but it will hold the cut closed and biodegrade on it's own. It is basically the same as a product called Dermabond.
