Superglue
When I cut 4 of my fingers open last year with a cheese knife. The bf been helpful used feminine products to stem the bleeding. (this or a whole roll of toilet paper works a treat.) But going to the doctors afterwards for some proper looking after and afraid of having to get stitches in my fingers I was amazed to discover that they were going to stick it back together with glue. I later found this out that it was superglue and it was bright blue, they now prefer to use it for kids wounds. (having had stitches twice as a kid I'm disappointed that kids today don't have to go through the pain of someone dragging a needle and thread through their skin like we did!) But anyway, the superglue, that stuff burning into an open wound is painful, as is accidently banging it into things, like walls, watches and even rolling onto in your sleep. Then the peeling the sucker off the wound a week later is the chance to see if it worked or not, plus the feeling of ripping off the surrounding skin that hadn't been damaged, priceless!
