Forget stitching, get the superglue
Had a deepish cut for a couple of days, right on the fleshy part of my thumb, so everytime I extended my thumb it would re-open.
Remembering how superglue was supposedly used in Vietnam to stick together wounded GIs I thought I'd check on the old internet to see if it was an urban myth.
Seems that as long as you use glue which is cyanoacrylate it's ok to use to hold a minor wound together.
So I've dabbed some on top of the cut having made sure the wound is closed so minimal chance of it seeping inside, and it's holding ok so far. No sign of any problems.
And that's my top tip for today. My second tip would be to avoid other types of glue that may contain arsenic, for obvious reasons
I'll let you know if my thumb goes septic or falls off mid-wank over the weekend.
