    Fixed. Back up and running.

    Closed tomorrow, but open again on Tuesday
    Please note, my opinion could be biased based on past and present employment

    I've been looking for a reasonable source of the Dermabond mini glue caps. They are a excellent addition to every kit but hard as heck to source.

    These are a huge game changer when you need a easy stitch or two. Maybe seal up a little slice while you're in the bush for a few.

    Any luck with those Dermabond minis?
    I choked when I saw the price of a case retail. Perhaps selling them in pairs will make it viable?

    I was curious about this as I am currently in the process of re-evaluating the items in my med kit. On the Ethicon page for Dermabond, it shows that it is composed of 2-octylcyanoacrylate.

    Dude, it's Crazy Glue. Even Loctite makes the stuff:

    It's way better than crazy glue, and comes in a purpose built mini dispensing tube and is stable for a few years. Yes I agree, same glue, much higher quality.

    Well, I'm a cheap SOB so I'll stick with the $6 Krazy Glue that also comes in a mini-dispensing tube

    Edit: Here's a good article that makes a few good points for Dermabond over Krazy Glue:

    Id like to see a ready made kit put together with all of the above suggestions and items listed on your original post. Plus some general 1st aid stuff. All in a nice bag.Theyd likely sell very well. Like a $200 grab and go.

    Sure, I see where you are coming from.
    Dermabond is a far better product. I have used both. No comparison, they are not the same.
    Google all the info up you want, Dude. lol My personal experience of the product is what makes me ask for it.
