Did the SOB get up after you reciprocated in kind or do I need to road trip to explain proper manners to the miscreant?

Oh and glue if possible in my book

Glue has a more clean look to it and it is just as effective as stitches. However, glue CAN trap pockets of bacteria underneath where you can not clean, so it can lead to infection...where as with stitches you have access to clean the wound more effectively, but a more nasty look to it...


up to you :)

Super glue, Ive closed some real big and deep cuts with the help of Super Glue, if you don't have any super glue, Duct Tape will always hold back the mess till you can reach a Hospital, working heavy construction i was always getting cuts and scrapes from clearing brush and on my D9 or just working on heavy equipment in general, blowing the tip of your finger out was common place from swinging a sledge when replacing brush hog cutters or bucket pins on the excavators and Missing lol  :aok

I bet the fight started when "Focke Wulf" was misheard and taken out of context.

 'surgical' glue and 'super' glue are basically the same thing. Read all about it on WIKI

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate

 I remember in the late 70's, a control line modeller cut his hand from the tip of his pinky down to his wrist. His cut was glued at the field with a brand of CA called Hot Stuff. He was then driven to the hospital. After showing the attending physician the bottle of 'Hot Stuff', he was good to go !
