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) |

Wow, I never thought of treating a burn like that. You see my solution is to yell out as many obsenities as possible as loud as I can, followed by kicking the s#!t out of what ever burned me, always worked for me!

Wow, I never thought of treating a burn like that. You see my solution is to yell out as many obsenities as possible as loud as I can, followed by kicking the s#!t out of what ever burned me, always worked for me! Reminds me of a scene from Deliverance. The city boys catch a redneck pounding on a piece of steel - surprised him! Hits his hand with a hammer! He yells lots of nasty words & runs outside to kick the crap out of an old rusted Dodge. They ask him if he's Ok - says it's Ok. Great to have something to kick the crap out of, but I don't think my wife would feel the same, since her's is the only non-Porsche in the garage....and it's new. |
