    Default Holes in my ceiling

    I need to know how to plug the 10 holes in my ceiling left by my fingers and toes after first purchasing then using a stypix pencil . Man that bites, gotta admit though it does what it says, stops the bleeding, I just wasn't ready for it.

    Thats why the Alum block is so expensive. Clear and less sting.

    Try caulking.

    It wasn't that bad and it worked, I just wasn't ready for it. I now remember why I don't use alcohol based aftershave.

    The first time I used a styptic pencil... well, it was after my 3rd straight razor shave using a Fromm-knockoff shavette. And yeah, it got my attention. Doesn't bug me at all now though.

    I never used those pencils. If I cut myself it was usually a little nick and I didn't need it and if I did major damage I needed the heavy artillery to stop the bleeding. But that was in the old days when I was a newbee.

    Drywall compound should do it, but re-paint it with a moisture-resistant paint (usually formulated for kitchens and bathrooms). As for alcohol, I have no problems with it in any shape or form

    When I use alcohol in other forms I usually have problems hitting the floor not the ceiling

    Fortunately, I'm the child of 2 engineers, one of which is a country-boy who grew up on 120-140 proof plum-based moonshine. After lots of training in a small North Ontario mining town in addition to the genetic aspect, I learned to always get to my bed and sleep it off

    I was close friends with an Italian family growing up who owned a vinyard. My mates Dad used to make grappa and my first memories of drinking were... actually I can't remember....

    Actually I do remember dipping my finger in it and lighting it with a match!

    All I had access to was cheap grappa from Montenegro... That stuff was just plain harsh. Since then I've tried some home-made stuff and it was actually drinkable.
