Rehearsal should be 'fun' tonight. And this d*mned thing is right at the bend so every time I move too much it splits again. Keeps getting caught on the strings when I am playing (particularly with barre chords). Something so small making things "adventurous"

Wow, I had the exact same cut, exact same place 3 months ago (mine caused by cutting a block of cheese). It took 2+ months to heal (because I can't just stop playing) and I still feel the cut even today when I slide. It does not hurt anymore, but underneath, still healing and I can feel where that cut was when I play/slide!

Hope yours heals quicker!!!

Finger cuts blow… one either hand, but especially the fretting hand. How’d it go?

I’ve used this and super glue.

If you are going to use a ca adhesive, be sure to use a 2-octyl cyanoacrylate (like Dermabond), as the others have a degree of toxicity to them.

So does my playing.

Vet tape does the trick.

I always soften those up with lemon juice

I have a left thumb sprain that's fine until I try to do the neck wrap around for the low E. Yowch!

Hope it heals fast. New Skins is an awesome product!

Both work well for this purpose.

Fun fact:
The original use of CA adhesives was to close battlefield wounds.

Look it up.

Sobering thought.

Yeah, I’ve heard that before. I little super glue on a cut isn’t gonna be the thing that kills me or causes health problems for me.

To be proper, I won’t advise others to use super glue on their open wounds.

Pinch it closed first then its not open, eh??

Is that what is meant by pinched agh-‘moanics ?!

It ended up not being as bad as I thought. Snagged it a couple of times since this post but it is toughened up now and is well on the way to mending itself.
