For all you hand sanders out there-

I got a pretty good cut on my palm when doing my latest restore. I was at work at the time (long lunch...) and it bled on and off throughout the day, and a bandaid didn't quite stick, as the cut was at the base of my pointer finger, and bandaids just don't stick to surfaces like that.

Everytime I'd flex my hand, it would open up again.

So, when I got home, I washed it out and gave it a good going-over with the styptic pencil. It stung like it should, and I let it soak in that alum goodness for a while.

After that, it stopped bleeding, and I was as good as new (well, not quite, but it was quite a bit better...)

So, just a helpful tip, the styptic is good for all sorts of cuts.
