Injury?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hola TBers.

So yesterday I was repairing a laptop, and as always happens, I injured myself. I got a cut on my index finger, right on the area that strums.

I tried to play at practice tonight, with a band-aid, but the pressure applied kinda hurt.

I have to play tomorrow in church, and am not looking forward to strumming with one finger.

Any solutions for my finger, or just suck it up?


Oh, and to add, tonight I tried playing with my middle and ring finger, and also a pic. It was not pretty. lol

Use super glue or a light gauze with SCOTCH tape around it

I did the same thing to my finger trying to sharpen a knife , I sliced my index finger. I used liquid skin but it wears off .

Not that it will heal in time for your session tomorrow in church, but in the future use a gob of neosporin and bandage it up for fast healing.
