What about a Styptic Pencil?

Thanks, perhaps I'll have to try if I can remember to buy a styptic
pencil. That might be a good idea if the cut is very small. However, my
next experiment is going to be super glue and I am not so imbued with
the spirit of pure research as to cut myself deliberately.

May I also say thanks to everyone who has made suggestions. I'm also
interested in the differences between the ethyl and octyl
cyanoacrylates. I was in a hardware store yesterday and saw a version
of super glue that was said not to immediately stick to skin. I wonder
if this is the octyl version but the ingredient list is not specific.

Most of the suggested solutions, especially vetinary supplies, are a
nuisance to come by and storage of an opened tube of Super Glue is a
problem. The big advantage of Johnson and Johnsons' liquid bandage was
that applicators soaked in the glue were supplied in sealed foil
capsules. They were individually expensive but kept very well.

More likely it has an acidic inhibitor in it, however if you google the
brand with keyword "MSDS" added you might find a list of ingredients.

Thanks! No luck unfortunately but I have bought a tube of Crazy Glue
Skin Guard to try next time.

If that's the stuff you were thinking of it's ethyl cyanoacrylate
<http://www.krazyglue.com/products/msds/mkg0366.htm>. What else is in
it other than silica they don't say.

I wonder how they achieved the "skin guard" that's supposed to prevent
it bonding instantaneously to skin, but I haven't tried it and I won't
until I need to.
