    I hardly ever cut/myself. One cut on my arm a few years ago & I'm scrapping some pretty ugly metal down all the time.

    Then yesterday when I have arrived home. I go to swing my swag bag fulla scrapmetal (60Lbs) down on the floor, it sits a bit offset & as I move my head down wards to get the strap off my shoulder.
    My heads moving down a bit & the bag falls towards me & I bump the top of my eyesocket against it & go "Ouch, that hurt".



    And I walk into the kitchen & lift up my arm to rub the spot, look at my arm & its covered in blood.
    Look in the mirror & I have a 1/2inch split/gash under my eyebrow.

    Yeah, most accidents DO happen at home...

    I've had many cuts and scrapes from scrapping, many of which should've been stitched, but blue shop towels and black tape make bout the best band aids around.

    I find thats right too, no thick twisted scars & no row of dots either side of it. My cuts just a thin dark line now, two days later.

    I swear by the juice out of a vitamin E capsule. Just squeeze it out right onto the cut, or right onto the bandage you're putting on a cut. Stuff heals cleaner, and in half the time.
