Thread: Cut of the Day

Pinch it together, and put a small amount of super glue on it. It'll seal it, and keep it from splitting back open.

Just don't put an accelerate on it, as I did. !! That orange would have been more pleasant.

Super Glue?

I think you must be mistaking me for someone brave Mike

Super glue is the truth for finger cuts, that or 3m electrical tape.... You probably have both .

Does the superglue hurt much?

I suppose it shouldn't be too bad, after all it was first used as a surgical glue.

I'll be honest, I've never tried it because I always superglue myself to my work and acetone does hurt in open wounds. I've always just used butterfly bandages.

But, I did hear a doctor asked about it once and pointed out that a surgical glue is used in a sterile environment and sterilized wound. So, it maybe something to consider or to not mention to the wife.

Shrug, I've always been more of the making tape and paper towels and hope the bleeding stops before the job's done.

Actually I've figured out the best course of action.
Move over coffee, this is a job for alcohol!

I did (as my Dad would say) "that same fool thing" a year or so ago... probably 2. Drying a razor with TP and sliced it damn near in half. Cut the thumbnail and everything. I probably should have had it stitched up but if I got stitches every time I should I'd turn into 2.0 silk. My kids used to play count the scars on Daddy's head. At least razor cut don't normally leave a bad scar.

That one is going to stick with you for a while. Hate that one for ya Steve.

When you hurt yoursel you are probably a lot braver than me.
If i had dropped a pickup truck on my finger like you did I'm sure I would have screamed a lot louder than you.

Well, it is sort of a hobby of mine.

Electrical tape and take out napkins = workman's bandage
