Crazy Glue, Epoxies and Bondo

[BradKW]

I was digging through older videos of a channel I subscribe to and came across this gem. Whatever you think you know about these things, I promise you'll pick up something new...even if it's just mixing sticks and crazy glue emergency surgery techniques:  Crazy Glue, Epoxies and Bondo

Whooo, close cuts with crazy glue and thread. That works and ya gotta love his thread cutting shears.

I can see using that process or even using a piece of cloth w/ glue to close a cut to get you to the ER for stitches.
I suppose if your hard core enough you could sew yourself up in most instances.

Crazy glue was invented for battle field cuts I have heard. I've used a lot of it with the planes and can tell you that when it gets in a cut...IT BURNS!

 

[BradKW]

It sure does, which is what I like about his thread method, lets you close up a gash in way the ER doc won't cry about and take perverse pleasure in undoing...

Why would you use something that could be contaminated? Why not stick this in your kit? https://medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000497.htm

I do use that actually... infections are so common in the subtropics, that works nicely for little cuts. But for real slices where you can't decide to use pressure or trying to keep it pinched, it's useless. The thread+ super glue is a neat trick, especially if medical care isn't nearby...

The thread idea is kind of the smae approach i use to fix various broken plastics, but I use either fiberglass or carbon fiber.

Here the blade storage portion of this razor knife got ripped off. I glued it back together, then dremmeled grooves in the plastic across the break with a cut off wheel, then filled it with superglue and then laid carbon fiber atop it and pushed it into the grooves.
Probably stronger than when new.
Did this repair several years ago, still in one piece.
Most recently i repaired a broken fan blade on the 5400 rpm screaming banshee Delta fan.  I bridged the break with carbon fiber.  Threw out the balance a little bit, but it is holding.

lol... This knife is barely alive, but gentlemen, we can rebuild it.
We have the technology.
We have the capability to make the world's first bionic knife. Better than it was before.
Better, stronger, faster...
