I worked as a screen printer for number of years and would sometimes slice
my finger cutting stencils or handling card stock. Super glue worked great,
it kept all the solvents out when washing screens and everything seemed to
heal faster. Sometimes out of convenience it becomes necessary not to wear
gloves and my hands are prone to a tot of abuse and super glue is the shit.

It seems as if wearing gloves might be a better solution. This avoids
blisters and sunburned hands.

When I rafted 225 miles of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon
three years ago, I witnessed Utah caver and rafter Doug Powell applying
Super Glue to his nicked and slightly lacerated hands each morning
before we took to the river. He rowed his own raft the whole way.

(cyanoacrylate). <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanoacrylate> I have
indeed heard of people using super glue to close wounds in an emergency,
but I have not seen it done in a cave. The medical variety is slightly
different from the home adhesive, but the latter would work in a pinch.
