I have done three cuts this way that would easily have required stitches, and they heal beautifully. I learned the trick on the side of a highway in Montana when I took a rock to the head on my motorcycle, and I was not wearing a helmet. A truck driver stopped, and glued me together.. albeit skipping stage three, and using a little vodka to rinse the wound. When I got home I went to the walk in clinic to get it properly fixed, and the doctor says "That truck driver did a nice job. If you notice it start to get infected come back, otherwords, it should heal up fine."

Just sealed up a nasty one from a carpet knife this summer, and it barely left a scar after healing.

From what I understand, dermabond, is just medical grade crazy glue anyway.

You're welcome in advance.
Before I do this, would any of CP's medical establishment like to weigh in here?
