As a glue for cuts, I have been using it for years. I am not brand specific, whatever I have nearest available. It was originally invented for the troops in the war, I would like to say Vietnam, but cannot remember. I am sure theirs was not medical grade either. And yes, do not use accelerator, unless you want a good burn. I believe that upon my try at using accelerator on a cut once, I thought I honestly saw my skin smoking!
