Hi,
A dentist or denture service should be able to help.
Whether the cost would exceed the new purchase price, is another story.
Cheers

SupporterRegarding superglue and the body, And old (92) friend knocked her arm while on holiday with the family. The gash that opened almost to the bone, you would reckon was caused by an axe blow. 4" long!! Her son, a doctor was there and while someone put a pressure bandage on, he headed to the nearest hardware for superglue. He said her frail skin wouldn't take suturing and the glue did the trick. I have also had a head wound glued up. So it can't be that bad.

Hi,
The medical glue has a blue colour, I've seen it used on minor scalp wounds.
Cheers

SupporterI heard superglue was what they use when a boxer gets a cut around his eye during a bout.

I've read that super glue was initially invented as a medical glue, for the US military, during the Vietnam war.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

And I've read that it was developed for space travel ie part of the space race, which encompassed the same time period.

Same here, it was in Casualty at a regional Vic hospital.
The doctor said it was basically the same as superglue when asked.
And yes it stung for a minute or so.

Super ModeratorWhereas apparently it was actually an accidental discovery while trying to develop clear acrylics for aircraft. Discarded as useless then accidentally discovered again a couple of years later. Both just post WW2.
It's an incredibly useful compound. Effectively a moisture cured acrylic that will stick almost anything to anything. Its biological neutrality is what made it useful in combat, but it wasn't developed for it. I'm a card-carrying coward and I've used it twice to avoid having to go and get stitched up.
I don't use it for anything long term however. It's best used for large surface area (near enough to) zero gap bonds. Doesn't seem to have much in the way of shear strength, so butt joints are temporary at best. Incredibly useful when combined with bicarb as a structural filler however. That reaction is incredibly exothermic, so watch out.
