Had you ever used glue on a hand laceration?

No: Not personally, although for superficial fingertip laceration, such as from playing guitar, if you push skin edges together and then apply glue just to hold edges together, will work well. Really not a good idea for deep cuts.

It can be used: Some hand lacerations or incisions from surgery can be treated with glue (dermabond). Others require sutures.
