I thought I'd share this tip:Two days ago I was cutting a template from a large piece of cardboard and recklessly didn't use work gloves as it was just straight cuts.While cutting along the framng square the box cutters slipped and I gave my left thumb a clean but nasty slit that also sliced open a 1/3 inch cut right through my thumb nail.My thumb started bleeding profusely but subsided after a few minutes I tried a Band Aid but it didn't work so I got some brush on Crazy Glue and applied a few coats and it worked like a dream,it completely sealed the gash so now I can play away.

Salt also helps stop the bleeding....it might sting a bit but it does help.

SRV used to cut callouses off his feet and super glue them to his fingertips when they were raw and bleeding from playing.

Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) had a bit of trouble with some of his fingers.
Sort of cut the ends off on a sheet metal machine, made some interesting adaptions so he could continue to play.

One word..........NuSkin

I use it all the time on paper cuts and boxknife cuts on my hands from my job. Put in on the cut, lasts for days, perfect.

Crazy glue works great. Just clean the wound real, real good first.

Wow. I had heard he did something like this but the way it was explained to me was that we would superglue callouses from his fingers back on. I had no idea he cut them from his feet.

A coworker of mine once worked in a funeral home and said that it was originally used to glue eyelids and lips shut.

I am with my buddy guitslinger, I use super glue all the time on cuts on my fingers. The best stuff I have found for me at least is the Gorilla glue. Man that stuff is awesome!

Dermabond which is used for cuts is the same thing a Super Glue but it has a anti bacterial added the glue so it is approved for this use by professionals.
