Default Medical applications

Lots of surgeons and veterinarians use a variant of CA called Dermabond to close small cuts, or even the skin layer of major cuts.

Not advisable to pick at that! If left alone, it will last the necessary 5-7 days to allow skin to bind itself strong enough.

It's not as strong as sutures, but, unlike sutures, it doesn't leave "needle hole" scars, and for the youngins it spares the emotional trauma of suture removal.

Has any one tried "CA Release". I have and it works great. Apply the hand cream to your fingers before you start to use CA. I found it on RC UNIVERSE.

Any advice on removing CA glue from your fingers? Thanks.
a couple of portions of fish and chips will do it. (from the newspaper of course)

My wife wanted to play her guitar, but grew tired of her fingers hurting and did not want to wait for calluses to form on her fingers. I showed her my fingers from using too much CA. So I put some CA on her fingers. No problem. Then I sprayed her fingers with the drying accelerant. She ran around the house for 10 minutes screaming. No major damage, and pretty funny now.

Just let the CA come off naturally. There are enough chemicals already in RC building.

Acetone dissolves it, so does nitro. I'd rather just let it wear off. Doing a load of dishes in very hot water helps.

If you use a tiny bulb syringe as an applicator, that helps prevent contact.

So does wrapping a bottle with a paper towel and masking tape.
