[QUOTE="UnSafe, post: 1960686, member: 100"] Back from the dead, indeed. Dermabond, Skin Stitch and other commercially available cyanoacrylate wound adhesives have a flex agent added to improve durability for the 5-7 day typical span of use. Applying petrolium based antimicrobial ointments will loosen the bond and cause the adhesive to peel/ loosen earlier. As far as wintertime dry hand cracking leading to big snivels as we laced boots on frozen desert pre dawn mornings back in the Army days- Using the thickest, greasiest hand lotion whenever we had the chance reduced the amount of cracking. I liked Hydrous Lanolin. The Mech Infantry guys all had big pump top jugs of Aafees hand lotion in their Bradleys. Even Govt. Crisco works. Once cracked and bleeding daily, we'd clean as good as conditions allow (Lick out finger cracks until kind of clean, dry on whatever looks clean) and carefully slop Superglue into and on the cracks. Looks like hell after a few weeks of continued gluing, but prevents the tears and blood dribbles all over your clothes. [/QUOTE]
