Yesterday I was painting some parts that required that the paint be heated up to adhere properly. I was using a heat gun on the high setting (1200 degrees). The heat gun started to fall and like a FOOL I went to catch it. I the pain was INTENSE and immediate. I grabbed a can of WD-40 and soaked 3 fingers and the plam of my hand. My thinking was the old wives tale of putting butter on a burn. I was fully expecting to go to the emergency room to have my hand treated.
The WD-40 soaked in and started to relieve the pain. The pain came back a second time so I repeated the soaking. My hand required a third treatment. To my amazement I saw no blistering and the pain had subsided. The area was tender to the touch and red but that was all. I came inside to the house to clean up in case a trip to the doctor was in order but still no blistering. The picture is of my hand this morning. The skin is tight on 3 fingers and my palm but you can not tell they were burned. Ripley's believe it or not? Attached image(s) |

We should also have a volunteer try Windex. Or was I the only person who saw that movie?

We should also have a volunteer try Windex. Or was I the only person who saw that movie? I was actually going to say that a friend suggested I try it and it worked. I was expecting it to sting like a Mo Fo but it immediately took the sting away. Totally surprised. She said it was the ammonia. |
