He knows that I take Coumadin due to having a mechanical heart valve. He says he's buying some for me.
I'll be honest this crap is some scary stuff. What happens if it gets in your blood stream? Permanent clot???
So does anyone have some? Anyone ever used it? If you know anything about it, you know more than me.
Talk to your doc

There is another foam like material that is injected into a gaping wound to do the same, no idea if it's on the market/over the counter.
Gunpowder and a match works too.. I saw Clint Eastwood do it before he went crazy and started talking to empty chairs.

I am a firm believer in super glue........I may have a couple nasty scars but 1,I didn't bleed out and 2,no doctor required to insert or remove stitches.Super Glue........manmade scab

I've known several recent situations where the hospital used it
It was used for battlefield wounds in Vietnam.
The clotting products typically aren't going to cause much damage, though I'd recommend applying pressure directly to the wound and expedite your trip to the local hospital before deploying one of those products.
They're typically reserved for field use in massive trauma cases. Not to be used outside of life threatening injury.

Was Super Glue invented to seal battle wounds in Vietnam?
