Blister

[Left Shoe]

so yesterday at band practice we wrote a new song, ending our writers block, and we jammed on it for like an hour. then we stop and i notice i have a blood blister, so being the natural thing to do i drain it with a syringe my guitarist has lying around. so now its just a blister... but we have a show tonight, isnt there something i can do with super glue or something to play through this show

Pop it and put non-toxic (this is important) super glue in it.

Superglue was invented for that very reason. It was used in WWII (I think?) to cover up small blisters and wounds so the soldiers could keep fighting.

You guitarist just "happens" to have syringe's lying around?

Yep super glue would be your best bet.

Isn't that how you get AIDS?

Vietnam, I heard. For patching up broken soldiers.

yeah he doesnt shoot up, he just thinks they are funny to put in stuff in his fridge ie the orange juice. his mom pours a cup of orange juice in the morning with an insulin needle sticking out of it

[Viscous Fridge Magnet]

Super glue or just play through the pain/blood.

WWII.


Cyanoacrylate, the active ingredient in Superglue, is the active ingredient in almost all "liquid band-aid" type stuff.

Only if the needle contained contaminated blood from an individul who had full blow AIDS, more likely to get Hepatitus or HIV first rather than AIDS.

Well you learn something new everyday, I did not realise superglue dated back quite that far.

It was developed in WWII, in an attempt to make synthetic gunsights. Patented in 1956, used for medicinal purposes since early in its life, so Vietnam probably was the first time they used it on soldiers, but it was developed during WWII.

Thanks. It always good to know the background behind some everyday items that one usually does not give a second thought to.:thumb:

On another note, the chemical formula for Super Glue says COOCH.

Like alreasy said, non tixic glue'll be fine, I've done it before and it was fine. felt strange though

Which is incorrect...

Don't think that I'm 100% correct, HIV is the virus and AIDS is what you get when the virus kills out you immune system.

Sounds about right.

[Pluperfect_Arson]

I used to just put some medical tape over the blisters and play like that. It still hurt, but meh. There was no blood. :p

[peeted]

could just get a plaster? or not play were the blister is, with it being a blood blister im asuming its not huge, im shure you can avoid it.

[Left Shoe]

the superglue all over my plucking hand pointer finger, middle finger, and thumb worked. it was weird though, it was like playing...but you coudlnt feel texture

[irishslappop]

having glue on your fingers in annoying as hell though : \

the best way to get rid of a blister is to thred a needle with really fine cotton, sick it through the blister, and leave it for a few hours. the cotton drains the blister without breaking the skin. you just pull the cotton out when its drained and its all good

If you shove a needle through it, didn't you break the skin?

[Surf Q. Hardcore]

yeah but its not burst open

[FunkMetalBass]

Oh okay, I see what you were saying.
