Perhaps it's not generally known, but cyanoacrylate, the active ingredient in super glue, and the glue itself, were developed for the purpose of gluing skin together after surgery where no sutchers were wanted. This is usually done on exposed areas where a scar is to be avoided. -- Ed Gould ucbvax!mtxinu!ed
