The stuff's pretty cheap at Wal Mart. It's good to buy there so the place
will stay open for the poor.

Plus, we had fun making up our own first aid kit. These work great:

"WARNING : Bonds Skin Instantly" (well yes, it really does!)

A *new* sealed, unopened, tube of Super Glue will last forever (until
opened) and can be invaluable as a liquid band-aid. It stings like hell -
but works fast and cleanly. A must add to any kit.

Was originally developed for vascular surgery. So should bond skin well.

Good lord! You must be older than dirt! :-)


I was there when they invented dirt. Before that it was just lava and
methane gas.

In real life, if a bandaid does the job you could probably just wrap
it with a blue wiper (shop towel on a roll) and get on with your
life..


Yes, I have done that,a nd will probably do so in the future, however,
my wife would like things to be a bit more "medically professional"
than that.

OK, in my little CC 169, I have in the tinted-covered glove box (if
you want to call it that) a small, but inexpensive first aid kit. OH,
it's more than a box of band-aids, it has some gause dressings, and
ointments,but still basic, and not really extravagant. It's still
sealed in waterproof plastic, but yet, it's easy enough to tear open
with little effort.


I've had it for 3 years, Out of sunlight, and out of humidity, but
it's live has been in over 100 Degree down to 15 below .

There doesn't seem to be any expiration date on it, and without
opening it I wouldn't know if the bandages are still adhiesive or
not. Should I toss it and get a new one? or is it something that will
last for years as long as unopened?




Is there someplace else in the boat where you can store the kit? Doesn't
that glove box get exposed to sun?


Actually the "glovebox" lid is heavily darkened plexiglass. Barely
enough visibility to see through it. Almost as dark as a welding
helmet lense but not quite.
