First Aid Information For: Devcon Grip-Ton-Ite Plastic Super Glue

Eye Contact: In the event that eyelids are stuck together or bonded to the eyeball, wash thoroughly with warm water and apply a gauze patch. The eye will open without further action, typically in 1-4 days. There will be no residual damage. Do not try to open the eyes by manipulation. If cyanoacrylate is introduced into the eyes, it will attach to the eye protein and will disassociate from it over intermittent periods, generally several hours. This will cause periods of weeping until clearance is achieved. During this period, double vision may be experienced together with a lachrymatory effect, and it is important to understand the cause and realize that disassociation will normally occur within a matter of hours, even with gross contamination.
Skin Contact: Remove excess adhesive. Soak in warm, soapy water. The adhesive will come loose from the skin in several hours. Cured adhesive does not present a health hazard even when bonded to the skin. For skin adhesion, first immerse the bonded surfaces in warm, soapy water. Peel or roll the surfaces apart with the aid of a blunt edge, e.g., spatula or teaspoon handle; then remove adhesive from the skin with soap and water. Do not try to pull surfaces apart with a direct opposing action. Cyanoacrylates give off heat on solidification. In rare cases, a large drop will increase in temperature enough to cause a burn. Burns should be treated normally after the lump of cyanoacrylate is released from the tissue as described above.
Inhalation: Move to fresh air; get medical attention if symptoms persist
Ingestion: Ingestion is not likely. The adhesive solidifies and adheres in the mouth. If lips are accidentally stuck together, apply lots of warm water to the lips and encourage maximum wetting and pressure from saliva inside the mouth. Peel or roll lips apart. Do not try to pull the lips with direct opposing action. Saliva will lift the adhesive in one half to two days.
