When I worked in food service we had a brown medical looking bottle of "liquid bandage" that was basically just weak crazy glue. We had to use that if we cut ourselves to make sure not to contaminate the food. Once I found out what it was I started using normal crazy glue gel instead. Closed up the cut, kept it clean, totally waterproof. I keep a bottle of it in my medicine cabinet to this day.

Liquid bandage is not weak "crazy glue" (cyanoacrylate). It is a completely different formulation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_bandage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_bandage For example, the popular brand New Skin consists of: Active ingredient: Benzethonium Chloride 0.2% (antiseptic) Inactive Ingredients: Amyl acetate, camphor, ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol, n-butyl acetate, nitrocellulose.

  That's not completely true. For instance the "LiquiBand" brand includes some products that are CA. http://www.liquiband.com/region/uk/liquiband-product-range-wound-closure/liquiband-octyl-0-4/ http://www.liquiband.com/region/uk/liquiband-product-range-w...

    Interesting, thanks for the correction. I noticed that the product you linked is intended for medical professionals. I wonder if there is a CA-based liquid bandage sold over the counter?
