Just for the record, WMI (the organization that runs and administrates WFR or WOFR if you prefer), no longer recommends using super glue or other adhesives for closing up wounds. The recommendation these days is either Steristrips (my personal favorite) or Butterfly closures.  It's nearly impossible to create a sterile environment that adhesives require, and going back into a wound to reclean or drain, basically requires cutting back into the tissue which only makes matters worse.
