My wife tripped over once and had a gash in her knee a few years back, I used superglue to 'stitch' it up and it healed great.
Yes, my wife had some applied by the hospital post-op...took weeks until it had all come off!

If you think that's good, I've got a 12 inch Scar on my belly that was superglued together :P
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

OK, so the memory has finally been dispatched, so much for 3 day delivery!

PCBs are also done and ready for the courier to collect.

Onwards and upwards 😁
