Ouch! Darn it!

I managed to slice my left middle finger over the weekend (I mistook it for some cheese; long story, okay?). It's healing up all right, but more slowly than I'd like because I keep whacking into things. (Not *just* the 'w' and '2' keys when playing WoW. Really!)

What's driving me crazy right now? I *know* I was recently discussing with someone at work, that there's this super-glue-like "liquid bandage" thing you can get for putting on hard-to-bandage cuts. There was a band-related injury, so that must have been the day of the Christmas party; we were threatening to put Super Glue on it as a joke, and it turned out later that that might have actually been the right thing to do.

So, does anyone know... what is this "liquid bandage" stuff, is it any good, and where would I get some? Also, does it tend to flake off if you do stupid things like play the bass before your finger heals?

Thanks in advance, O mighty group mind!

The product, "New Skin," comes in both a "paint on" form (good for cuts) and a "spray on" form (good for large scrapes).

It can hurt like hell when applied, but I think it's really worth it. It's carried in most of the drug stores around here.

That's about what I was going to say. That, and don't glue your foot to the floor! (http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2004-07-21-woman-glued-floor_x.htm)

I did decide it would be bad to glue my fingers to the steering wheel. (Now... a thousand and TWO uses!)
