Wound glue instead of stitches, when can it get wet safely?

Question:

when can it get wet?

Answers:
Well, it's a polimer, a fancy way for saying plastic. So long as it is solid it cannot revert to previous forms. This is because it has molecularly bonded, and formed into a solid peice of plastic. It is safe to take a shower, but I don't suggest a bath, waterlogging the skin can cause it to loose adhesion with the glue.

I took showers just fine when they used wound glue on my surgery.

You can typically get surgical glue wet 24 hours after application. You should however take precautions not to soak the area, such as in a bath in case there is not a proper seal in which case you can cause infection.
