A while ago, I did a year as a sprinkler technician. I was fortunate enough to cut my hands and fingers at least once a week with semi-deep cuts. Because I still had to do my job, I had to cover the cuts in such a way to prevent infection. Most of my job consisted of digging, cutting pvc, and sticking my hand in dirty water. So, after I was cut, I would usually put some neosporin, and then cover with pvc glue. I am sure that a lot of people are going to tell me that it was a bad idea. I am not a doctor, and all I can say is that it did what I wanted. It killed any germs, sealed the cut so it could heal, and prevented furthur contamination. The next day I would usually put more neosporin on it, cover it with white sports tape, and then coat the tape in pvc glue.

Needless to say, in my non-doctor opinion, I think using a proper adhesive to seal a cut is better than band-aids.

So, should I expect any after-effects from the pvc glue down the road? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
