''Ca is real good to fix those exacto cuts on your fingers also!!''

My understanding of the history of CA is that it was originally developed to treat/suture/close up battlefield wounds without having to sew them together.

First time I saw CA was in 1963. My dad was an engineer in aerospace and they used it for items in the rockets and missiles. In 68 I never saw any used by the medics or in there kits. Doesn't mean it wasn't there though.
I buy my CA in 8 ounce bottles and just fill up a two ounce bottle as needed. I use the small tips sold at the LHS but I still glue my fingers together and to wood. Acetone removes it. I only bother removing it if I'm going out in public, my friends all know what I do for a hobby.
