yeep, i too have used supaglue to heal the odd flapper when ive had to, so as to continue crankin without any bad side effects (cant seem to get the bag of my head though!)

Superglue *can* cause an inflammatory reaction that can be quite intense for some people.

most suerglues contain some sort of cyanoacrylate group, which i think casues the reaction.

the medical stuff goes under many names such as DERMABOND and its big plus is that is sterile. many acute hospitals use it.....

still most climber i know are so far from the sterile end of the cleanliness continuimm that sterile glue is the last thing on their mind, much further in need of clean eating implaments!

Speaking of crack gloves, what about those thigh pads used to gain addditional grip for knee bars...?
