Can cyanoacrylate be safely used on skin?

  • Thread starter Joel Wilson

In summary, cyanoacrylate can be safely used on skin as long as it is used carefully and according to the instructions. It is commonly used in medical procedures and first aid situations, but it should not be used as an adhesive for cosmetic purposes. It is important to avoid contact with eyes and other sensitive areas, and to clean the skin thoroughly after use. As with any chemical, it is recommended to do a patch test before using it on a larger area of skin.

The bicycle wheel is my livelihood, I'm no rocket scientist nor have I studied organic chemistry.

Sure, I'll ask questions. If there might be something I can contribute then I'll do my best.
