[@cyy3793]

You DO NOT apply superglue INTO a laceration wound. You apply the glue OVER the opposed edges of the wound, forming a glue structure which bridges OVER the wound, which holds the open edges together. Glue must not come into contact with the wound at all, as this would in fact prevent the wound edges from meeting each other and therefore actually hinder the healing.

[@swicked86]

Done this many times as a mechanic, even better is afterward put glue over it and put a layer of tissue, do it a few times and you'll have a hard cast that'll fall off itself when the skin below releases.

[@airfriedquadsbw]

I have used it to close any serious cut for years and years. As recently as 2 weeks ago. And on some very serious cuts. Even glued cotton bandages to the wound because the glue alone wouldnt stop the bleeding. and a glove to the bandages and contined to work the rest of the day. Works great. And you are correct, not into the cut, but most accidents don't involve nice clean cuts like the video. Super glue is great for these too. Thing about the cotton is it makes heat, alot of it when it's on an injury. Make sure it coats the skin and the needed cotton quickly and completely. And have the water running to put the bandaged area under running water quickly. The cotton adds strength like stitches, but better. Unless your avoiding scars, don't do it then,, let the pros do that.

[@airfriedquadsbw]

​@swicked86 yep, I even wrapped my finger in paper towel, put a rubber glove on, and poured the glue into the glove. Add water, cause it does make heat. As a child I had stitches so many times. This has saved me a bunch of money, time, and pain in my adult years.

[@moronicpest]

There are exceptions to everything. Even super glue and epoxy glues won't work well on polyethylene. Teflon coatings mainly stick to pans in a mechanical way, as the coatings themselves don't stick all that well to metal without having having the surface been made rough in some manner first. In paints, zinc oxide costs more but had certain advantages over titanium oxide like in UVA resistance and corrosion resistance. Titanium dioxide gives better opacity at lower cost though.

[@ObservationofLimits]

Telfon coatings are done in multiple layers. There's an etch/primer layer with a small teflon content bonded to the metal, which the final teflon coat is able to bond to.

Thanks for the interesting topics covered in the program and the journey down into the Blue John Caves and the fluorite mineral. Also the section on paint and Titanium dioxide. I work with the mineral calcium carbonate most days in my work as a lime plasterer and was taught that the faster something dries the more brittle it becomes whereas the slower it dries the harder it becomes and the lime mortars dry back to being a rock again, unlike a cement, lime allows water vapour through which is why lime putty mortars are preferred for old ancient buildings and homes, they are softer than cement. Cement dries very rapidly and if used in an old building it will break up soft rock and clay bricks making them crack and split up. Lime mortar will dry back to rock which takes many years if done properly and no nearby vibrations like heavy traffic. Casein is also added to lime paint to make lime paint more durable and hard. The capital W in Wow is reserved for the fluorite green gas that was so reactive it was kept it in 2 containers.

But this video was about getting things to stick and not stick , so the obvious mystery to solve is: if PTFE (Teflon) is so non stick, how do they get the PTFE to stick to the pan?

[@SianaGearz]

Often not very well. Once you scratch through the Teflon and to bare alu in one spot, it might just lift up the rest of the Teflon sheet. So it doesn't as much stick to the pan as just hugs it tightly. Still there's a few ways they try to improve adhesion. One is etching the aluminium surface with lye so it's porous, letting applied layers bite into it. Other is that there are several layers and the one touching the metal directly isn't exactly PTFE. It might be PTFE that was previously pre-degraded by intense heat or plasma to break some molecular bonds and make it sticky, but it's still sufficiently similar to Teflon that the rest of PTFE sticks to it. Or it might be a mixture of PTFE and a different polymer entirely, so the two types of molecules are intertwined into each other, but the next layer of PTFE still sticks to the PTFE molecules.

[@blaster-zy7xx]
