Medical super glue exists! It has additional compounds in it to slow down the heating/bonding period and to add flexibility

Veritasium recently did a video on super glue

I love stuff like this! I saw this on my radar recently, It’s gross but cool! Engineers create new glue that mimics mussels and mucus to prevent bacterial buildup

Now engineers from MIT and Freie Universität Berlin have developed a new type of glue that combines the waterproof stickiness of the mussels' plaques with the germ-proof properties of another natural material: mucus.

"Depending on how much cross-linking (chemical bonds) you have, we can control the speed at which the liquids gelate and adhere," Haag adds. "We can do this all on wet surfaces, at room temperature, and under very mild conditions. This is what is quite unique."

Cool. Actually, I think that is where I heard about the original formulas not being ideal. (My brain can store random factoids really well, but will always discard the source.)
