Do not try this at home....
Unloaded the kiln for the millionth time and there it was, a little round drop bubble of beautiful green glaze. Umm I will just brush that off me thinks. As my hand is in motion I already know the result but toooooo late. Fingers sliced way open.. so now I have them super glued up and have to wait for three days or so until the worst has healed. Arrggggg.. reminds me of the time I stuck the drill bit in my mouth to see how hot it was.....
lovely

Sorry you hurt yourself. Probably many of us have done the same thing at one time or another.
Keep your hands safe and don't get an infection.

Ouch!
Isn't it weird how your mind just can't stop your hand on time. I've sliced mine while removing witness cones that don't look all that stuck to the shelf ... hope you heal quickly.

Don't mean to be too cautionary but...........
Doctors and Dentists have been having problems with people using superglue that is not intended for medical use.
I know that people claim to do it all the time but I've been told that it is a very bad idea to use superglue for wounds unless as a last ditch, no help available within many miles.
I hope your wound heals with out complications

Thanks for the kind words.... so far no need for a tetnus shot 
just one of those things I guess. I have never had any super glue issues although I dont make a habit of using it, so people NO Superglue! T

No to be a total downer, but keep it clean. There has been a string of incidents going on down here in the south where people are contracting flesh eating bacteria from all sorts of innocent injuries. Keep it clean, and go to a doctor if you can.

Trina, I admire how readily you owned up to your mistake(s)--and publicly no less! I'm always so embarrassed when I do something like that...since I don't lie, I'll reply mumble mumble when someone asks me how I acquired an injury that was self-inflicted rather than admit to it. I need to work on that since we all make mistakes and I think it's good to be able to laugh at ourselves and our foibles.

I use super glue (crazy glue really) all the time to speed up healing cracked or cut fingers . I would not do a show without it. It also lives on our kitchen table as I use it that much.You will see it used in surgery rooms a lot as well.

I always have the 'New Skin' liquid bandage on hand ... use it up at an embarrassing rate!
