Often overlooked, had to have a metal shaving pulled from my eye once, that sucked!!!! Also fried my arm once welding in short sleeves, was like a really bad sunburn. And many, many cuts that should have been stitched but nothing a little crazy glue couldn't seal up. All in all, I've been lucky, nothing major. Still don't wear the protection I should most of the time.

I had a swing set chain break while playing with my grandson and I was wearing safety glasses and the metal went right behind the glasses and in my eye, 4 pieces,:oldangry: Doctor couldn't get it out and told me to go to an eye specialist, WTH, I stopped at work at the time and I had strong magnets at my desk, I cleaned the magnet and rolled it across my eye, not drag it, rolled it, and said to my wife there's the 4 pieces of metal on the magnet, works every time.:old2:

Looking forward to retirement
If I can get 5-10 people together I can do some road trips depending on Millage. I will have my stuff next Sept at BB&B and I will be staying in a certain hay field so I can do a lot for ya'll there!!!

I hear crazy glue burns like hell.... if you don't numb the cut up first.

Heard a 42 year old Marine (22 years in and counting) yell like a little girl. He said it just surprised him, that's all.

Lol, don't think it's too bad as long as the some skin to flap back in place. Had a bad, deep cut on my knuckle from a cutting disk and just pinched it together, poured some crazy glue on and held it till it sealed up. Of coarse the wife read me the riot act for not going to the ER, whatever works!!!

You know they make a actual medical adhesive. Try that next time and then you can say to your wife it's okay it's for medical use!

3m makes it ..it's called Dermabond

Amazon sells it and 3M renames it to VetBond so it can sell it to the public. Same stuff for humans
