It is used on battlefields for wounds

but lots of people believe that it was invented in WWII for that purpose and that's not true - it was discovered by accident by researchers trying to make extra-transparent lenses for sniper rifles during the war. I'm not quite sure how they got it so wrong. It's a bit like trying to invent a wheel and discovering bricks by accident.

I always thought it was made for medics in vietnam because stitching was time consuming :)

Ah, that was about what they wrre saying.

I thought you meant the existence of glue to treat battle wounds was all a myth

It bloody well works too

I superglued my finger closed the other day, although tricky to keep it closed while it dries without superglueing your other fingers to it as well.
