Hahahaa...that is a biggie ! No gloves or through the glove ?

[lorenzo]

Through the glove..... They were light gloves for what I was doing. My bad.

Question,

What do you use for a back pad? (Ive come close to doing that a few times). I was thinking of a wrap of leather or something to that effect.

Here is a sample of what I'm talking about.

Did you get the tune I sent you?

That's a nice one. That reminds me of when we were all getting certified here at the shop a few years back and one of the guys didn't start in a good position but was determined not to stop the bead until he had completed it, he ended up with almost the whole top of his hand as a blister. Probably the worst I've ever seen. He passed the test, probably wouldn't pass an I.Q. test though

Lorenzo : When that blister starts to weep make sure you keep it clean. Infection is a future complication. I found that Flamazine is great under a dressing and speeds healing. In Canada it is by prescription only.
Another way to go is to get those clear plastic dressings and leave it on until the wound is sealed. Don't know the product name but they are becoming common on drug store shelves.

Are you referring to the 3M tegaderm???

Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark. Aloe vera outside.....spirits or cider from the inside. It should heal that way...if it doesn't, you won't care.

The aloe Vera plant here is about 3' inside the house entrance so i can pluck a stem if needed before I even take my boots off
