Cut to the quick
Any advice on quickly sealing up a fresh cut on the left middle finger tip? Specifically, so that I can successfully play the guitar at Norwescon this weekend. I'll be doing several hours' worth of playing over the next few days, and I really don't want to have to cancel because of a stupid little cut, regardless of how inconveniently it's positioned.
Hopefully there will be some other guitarists out there who have been through this and can offer good advice. If you've never played the guitar, you might be tempted to recommend I try playing with a band-aid, not realizing how utterly impossible this would be (might as well try it with boxing gloves).
One thing I'm curious to try is cyanoacrylate. Although I don't want to try it unless someone else can give me success stories about having used it in my specific situation. I don't want to take the chance it would make things worse.
Any other ideas?
UPDATE:
Okay, that newskin stuff IS THE AWESOME. Not only could I play just fine, I spent most of the evening joyously poking and prodding at the totally sealed, tough-yet-flexible, completely pain-free cut.
All sorted. Thanks for all the advice, everyone. :-)
