Braid slice your finger?

[DBrooke]

Was just reading posts about braid, and the hurt it can cause. Then remembered I should share what I do when it happens to me.

Most or us have sliced our finger a time or 2 with braid. And most of us keep superglue in the boat for knots. Well next time your out on the lake and slice your finger, pinch it shut and put a couple drops of superglue on it! I've done it a time or 2 myself, just make sure you don't glue your other fingers to it

And make sure the glue has dried before picking the rod or grabbing the reel handle 

Great tip DB, thanks for posting 

p.s. I assume there are no medical issues with putting a chemical on an open wound?

Never been an issue for me, that stuff is like magic. I am sure it is very similar to the stuff they use at the hospital....well all except the price tag.

I used to use it at work when I or someone else would cut themselves on a piece of metal. Went to the hospital once and since it was a clean slice they used "R_x" superglue. I will say it burns a hair lol.

So here is the fine print:
If you have a reaction to doing this, you are doing so at your own risk.

Back when I built truck bodies I would use it all the time. Sheet metal cuts nice and clean and those cuts bleed forever. Good ole super glue saved me lots of $$$ by not having to get a couple stitches here and there. One thing I would recommend is to wash the cut out good and give the cut a spray of antiseptic if available. Otherwise you are just gluing all that stuff in and it can slow the time it takes to heal and might cause some infection.

love it man.done it before. and will keep doin it. aint killed me yet

Seen and heard it done plenty with little to no side effects except by people that may have allergies.
That is why they state to hold it closed until it dries.

Been doing it for 5 years! Best way to stop the pain as well. Pain stops immediately after glue dries.  Just remember to clean and sanitize first.

Nice tip, thanks!! I'm sure its the same stuff the EM room uses just in a different packaging so they can charge you 10x the amount

I had a doctor recommend I use it on small finger cuts. Turned Out i'm allergic as heck to the stuff and it made a small cut very bad. But if you are not allergic to it, it's a very good idea.
