I know of a friend's friend whose disgruntled wife fed up with his

Acetone, and generally it won't hurt you if you don't inhale it all...

Keeping a bottle of superglue debonder around is a cheap investment.
If you go to a hobby store which carries a selection of cyanoacrylate
glues (usually of different viscosities and bonding speeds) you ought
to find a supply of debonder in the same rack.

Has anybody ever found an application where superglue works well
except on human skin? I find the crap brittle as hell and have yet to
see anything glued with it last more than a few weeks before breaking.

I use it on optical things often, because it's easily removed, like Duco
cement except stronger and faster-setting. As long as you use just a
little, it doesn't cause too much nasty frosting nearby.

stitched I used a grade of cyano we use for guitar work. Got the bleeding
stopped, wasn't much to begin with. Applied the glue and the cut was

had healed well enough to remove the tape. Now I have a scar but it is a
straight line. Be happy to upload a pic of it.

Absolutely. My mom is very allergic to aspirin. I'm not. I think as you
said the same holds true for these type of chemicals. However in larger
amounts other than a tiny droplet or two I spread along the 2.5cm cut all
bets may be off. If you are a surgeon and are using it internally you
would want the least possibilities of toxicity. If I were out in the
field and gashed my hand wide open many miles from help I'd opt-in the
CA :)

When dried, it's non-toxic. In liquid form, the volatiles are a
problem if they get to the mucus membranes. Repeated use can also
cause one to develop an allergy, with flu-like symptoms:
<http://wapedia.mobi/en/Cyanoacrylates>
<http://wapedia.mobi/en/Cyanoacrylate#3.>
I've glued a few cuts together without much difficulty. It stung a
bit when applied, but that went away rapidly.
Hmmm.... looks like the common adhesive (methyl 2-cyanoacrylate or
ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate), is different from the veterinary glue (n-Butyl
cyanoacrylate), which is different from the surgical glue (2-octyl
cyanoacrylate).

I have to agree on the brittleness problem. It's so handy, that I
tend use it on items where urethane, RTV, or epoxy would be more
appropriate.
Where I've used SuperGlue successfully are:
1. Custom rubber o-rings
2. Glass and ceramic repairs. I think my coffee cup has had the
handle superglued in 3 different places.
3. Hard plastic parts where the break is clean and has not been
stretched or bent. If the plastic is soft and/or bends, CA will not
work.
4. Tacking large parallel surfaces together.
5. Tacking SMD components to a PCB before soldering. A toothpick
works well as an applicator.

Any application that does not apply a sheer force. I use it to glue new
guitar frets into a slotted fretboard. It's a CA designed for that
application though. Also good for guitar nuts. Can't imagine something so
popular that didn't work.
I collect stones. When something breaks, superglue works very well.

Thee are some newer formulations on the market which are intended
to be less brittle, and thus able to handle more impact that the
standard formulas. The one I bought (Gorilla brand) says that it's
reinforced with rubber particles. I infer that the rubber both
reduces stress within the adhesive during compression or tension (thus
reducing the tendency for cracks to start) and also helps prevent
cracks from propagating through the material once they do start.
http://www.threebond.co.jp/en/technical/technicalnews/pdf/tech46.pdf
has some details.
I've made my first experimental use of the Gorilla rubber-
reinforced variety, gluing a set of hardwood scales to a pocketknife
handle. I'll be quite interested to see how the knife holds up with
time. I know I'm taking a risk, not fastening the scales to the
handle with small screws... but the scales are hand-finished olive
burl and I just couldn't bear to drill holes in it.

When I worked at a hi-fi store, we used to super-glue tone-arm bases onto
the metal surface of the Lux turntable arm mount (rather than cutting screw
holes into the surface). This allowed the mount to be reused for a different
arm, simply by holding a block of wood against the tone-arm base and
striking it with a hammer.

I use it to splice "O" rings into custom sizes. If done properly [clean
single edge razor blade, square cut] holds up well as a VCR drive belt,
even in a swimming pool vacuum line leaf trap. Using a telfon "v" block
would help alignment but I've managed without.
