CA as a commercially promoted Band-Aid?

[Del Rykert]

Marty is correct and as I mentioned on this list before be aware using modeling CA may cause you a burn in the deeper tissue as well as get a nasty infection. Bleeding is natures way of cleaning the wound. This is a good and desired thing initially. On minor paper cuts I might use modeling CA on anything else I would personally choose not to. But what do I know. Maybe all solders are now being issued CA to keep them on the front line when they injure themselves. (vbg)

  I've had success with CA helping to stop the
  bleeding on finger & thumb cuts.

  But it seems consumer CA is made with methyl alcohol
  while medical grade CA uses butyl.

  So for larger wounds, I'm gonna skip the CA and grab
  my sewing kit instead.  :o(
