You won't get a better offer than that.

When you did that, did you jump up and down and run around a bit saying ***t, ***t, ***t before you looked at the damage.

Sorry for misfortune and thanks for a timely reminder.

Alex,Sorry to hear that....Ive had a similar occurence,just waxing to take photos...they cut long,and deep.Hope you recover soon Regards Gary

Last time I cut my finger with a straight, I went for the superglue. My doc friend told me it could have used 2 stitches minimum, more likely needed 3 or 4. Superglue held it just fine, and the scar is no worse than stitches would have been. Glad to hear you healed up OK Alex.

Superglue ?

What sort of Country do you guys live in?

Not getting political or anything, but that is third world speak.

Come over to England, we'll fix you up for what you'd call free. Almost like in Cuba.

Somebody over there should speak to the people in power about what really matters in life.

Number one in England is food, health and education.

Maybe your Country has different priorities. I'm not talking about the people.......who I have a lot of time for.

God bless you all.

I wish man! I believe this is part of the platform of Obama in the upcoming election really. The whole concept of "change". But hey, let's not get this thread closed with political banter! lol

Thats a deep nasty cut. I cant stand needles and usually pass out as I walk through the hospital doors (I am not joking the fear has got that great - daft but true). How does the superglue work,do you just pinch the skin together and glue over the top ? The last time I got a nasty cut whilst repairing a garage the nurse who came into the curtained cubicle had bigger biceps than a russian shot putter. I ran a mile.

I got so many small cuts doing the thumb pad test that I dont touch it anymore. I got another deep cut whilst closing the blade and since then I have been extra careful as given a chance,the beast will attack.

Alex,

Sure, I believe it. I own it, I use it, I get my fingers stuck with it. I've got the anti super glue tube.
I've seen it used to stick the bottom of a groom to a toilet seat on his stag night. He complained, I told him he was lucky because there are other bits of skin that if stuck together can cause serious pain on his matrimonial night.

But as a band aid. No.

That cut requires anti tetanus, anti bacterial treatment and some thing like superglue.....
probably stitches and somebody to say things like.... are you OK..... would you like a cup of tea......you know those little things that cheer you up and make you heal quicker so you can go cut yourself again in confidence because people care.....

May be you think we English are spoilt and mothered.... maybe we are.... but think about it.....Superglue!

Mind you, I've just put a tube in my medical chest on your advice.

I found that an unhoned blade after sanding cuts just as good as a properly honed blade when slicing movement is involved.
This looks nasty indeed. CA would probably have kept it shut until it had healed over properly, and you wouldn't have had such a big scar. I think.

Out of curiosity (I really have no clue), what would it have costed? I can't imagine NOT going to the ER with a cut like that.

If it had been infected (althoug the blade was probably very clean) or a sinew, nerve or tendon had been partially hit, it could have had nasty consequences if left untended.
