While compounds very similar to Super Glue were first developed as a surgical cement, and "gluing" a small, delicate surgical wound closed is a rare but occassional practice, this does not fall within the confines of First Aid. The superglue preparation you buy at hardware stores is not sterile, and a wound of the size a surgeon would glue closed can be better treated by more conventional methods during first response. In short, don't do it.
