| Have you ever heard of gluing a cut
| |
| | hit like a freight train and I finally
|
| together? The first time I heard about

| | fight the monster into my canoe. I am
|
| this I was somewhat shocked. I was
| |
| | trying to snap a quick arms length
|
| selling a product called Miracle Glue at
| |
| | picture to record the moment and release
|
| trade shows. I had people telling all the
| |
| | the trophy when the fish jerks out of my
|
| outrageous stories possible about the
| |
| | hand which is holding him by the gills
|
| origins of cyanoacrylates (superglue) -
| |
| | and begins to go nuts in the bottom of
|
| Miracle Glue is in the same category. The

|
| prevailing story was that superglue had

| been invented in the Vietnam era for
| |
| | the pliers and manage to get the lure out
|
| soldiers. It was more effective than
| |
| | and as I am trying to settle the fish to
|
| bandages in sealing up a cut or wound
| |
| | release it I go to make my grab and it
|
| closure. I researched this pretty
| |
| | grabs me instead by the hand. I manage to
|
| thoroughly and found that although these
| |
| | hold it by the gills and twist my hand
|
| types of glues were used in Vietnam and
| |
| | out (not fun, easy or pretty but luckily
|
| later for suturing wounds, ?super glue?
| |
| | I had on heavy leather gloves) but now
|
| was ?discovered? much earlier.
| |
| | the fish is all tangled in my heavy line
|
| Cyanoacrylates were stumbled upon by a
| |
| | and all I want is this sucker out of my
|
| couple of gentleman at Eastman-Kodak in
| |
| | canoe. I yank out my filet knife and go
|
| the 1940?s then again in the 50?s. These
| |
| | to cut the back side of the line to toss

| gentlemen were experimenting on scopes

| for rifles and cyanoacrylate was one of
| |
| | Just as I go to cut the line the fish

| In the 1970s n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate then

| |
| | fish, I bang him on the head with the

| Now, though my family is loaded with
| |
| | straight cut. I am not relishing the
|
| doctors, I am not one. Though I cannot
| |
| | thought consuming my weeks whiskey stock,
|
| advise one to use glue for this sort of
| |
| | boiling fishing line and doing a hand sew
|
| thing, I can tell you some interesting
| |
| | job on my leg. I remember reading
|
| stories that have been sent to me. Here
| |
| | something about medical use of glue and
|
| is one from 3-4 years ago:

| | figure it is worth a try before a hack

|
| I bought a little bottle of your Miracle
| |
| | I take out the Miracle Glue I bought,
|
| Glue at a gun show in Portland back in
| |
| | clean up the wound area, dab it as dry as
|
| June thinking from the demonstration that
| |
| | I can and then slowly glue the wound shut
|
| it would be a good thing to have when I
| |
| | using some hemostats I use for removing
|
| was out hunting and fishing for all those
| |
| | hooks. It worked nicely and held the
|
| instant repairs that seem to always come
| |
| | wound together. I dabbed some more and
|
| up. Well, it ends up that your little

| | finished until the bleeding stopped. I
|
| glue saved my trip. I would say life, but
| |
| | waited and then added a thin line seal
|
| that would be a little too dramatic. I
