Re: [VFB] Superglue
Hi Scott; What hurts more the initial cut or the super glue repair?? Wayne, I'm not Scott, but for my money, the cut is much worse (or the cracked fingers in my case). The superglue is more of a sting that only lasts a few seconds. If you can't stand the little sting of superglue, you probably shouldn't play with sharp objects! :-P a. -- Allan Fish Greenwood, IN afi...@sbcglobal.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

p.s.: Re: [VFB] Superglue
p.s.: Super glue does NOT take the place of butterfly bandages and sutures for deep gashes. However, the medical stuff (it's a different chemical, not a diluted form) must work as a temporary fix. They sure use it enough. For permanent connections (knee/hip prostheses, etc.) they use good old epoxy. a. -- Allan Fish Greenwood, IN afi...@sbcglobal.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the VFB Mail group.

Re: [VFB] Superglue
Allan and Wayne, I agree completely. The cut is far worse. By the time I am done planing one rod I have dozens of micro cuts on my finger tips and if I am lucky that is all. There are the plane blades that I sharpen to 12000 grit. There are the razor blades I hone on a black Arkansas stone to make them even sharper than out of the package. And then there are the precisely cut triangles that might as well be a razor's edge as well. I sliced my thumb to the bone one time, but I got stitches for that. I don't care what anybody says, getting sliced hurts. I think I would rather be shot or stabbed.
