I did something stupid and painful today

[Coyote_Bandit]

It hurts. Blistered the pads of two fingers on molten solder. Immediately after I did it I put yellow mustard on it, wrapped my fingers and stuck them in a cup of ice. Kept them there for a good half hour. Then I put some burn ointment on and wrapped with gauze. Better but still hurts. And of course it will take awhile to heal.

Damn, I feel really klutzy....

1. Yellow mustard?

7. Yum......

the fingers are too crispy though.....

6. It is supposed to

prevent blistering. You're really supposed to leave it on until it dries. Or so I'm told.

It did take away a lot of the initial sting of the burn. One of the blisters appeared to decrease in size a bit. Unfortunately, my blisters were immediately visable.

if you can find the bandaids that have the silver on them buy them...
or ask your Dr. for a perscription for Silver cream.....

yes stupid lost had NO GLOVES on.....
the silver worked miracles.....

10. Horses!

I'm offically jealous.

I think the burn cream contains an antibiotic. Need to double check.

I did not know they made bandaids with silver on them. Perhaps I need to go to Walgreen's.

Do you think gloves would work well with a soldering iron? Would it klutz proof it?

11. I know nothing about soldering irons

although one of my favorite sounds in the whole world is when
some one is soldering a copper pipe joint and the hot solder hits a wet spot....
don't know why..... but I LOVE that sound.....

Welders wear gloves....
maybe you should to???

:hi: :hug:

feel better, cause I know how you feel...


lost

12. Thanks

I was working on a stained glass piece. Most folks don't wear gloves to solder glass.

If you put too much flux on the foil or came you spatter and sizzle. Just FYI.
