I generally buy 12 packs of super glue and keep a few in various places for primarily first aid reasons and occasional project repairs. The other day, entirely by my own fault, I took a 3/4" 'shield' of skin and flesh from my thumb with a freshly sharpened chisel. I looked at the wound, and was immediately thankful I didn't just put a chisel through my hand, and then looked over at the chisel. There on the chisel was this perfect surgically removed piece of tissue. My first thought was "Hey, this will fit perfectly back in the hole and I have superglue open and ready in my toolbox". I quickly slapped it back in place, dribbled some glue over the seam, covered with a bandage, and figured see what happens.
Well, the next day, I checked and the pale dead-looking piece had regained color and apparently "took". Now, four days later, you can see it healing nicely. The "gross" end is where I was racing against time and blood flow so it has made a scab. Anyway, it is sure going to beat a thick scab over a deep gouge taking a month to heal. I have used superglue and butterfly bandages a handful of times to suture some pretty ugly wounds over the years, and it is much better than alternatives in many cases. I have never done a tissue "graft" though, lol. I encourage everyone to have some handy.
