Tip #9 First Aid Tip
A few days ago I picked a picked up a piece that was still hot. Ouch. I put my hand in the water to quench it- this really helps because it stops the heat right away, otherwise it's like a piece of metal that has to air cool. It keeps on burning, which means more damage to your skin. Usually when you pick up hot metal there's a blister which means a 2nd degree burn, but if you get water on it right away you can avoid that, and, if you're lucky, keep working!

Then if you put real Vanilla Extract on it, it won't blister and won't hurt the next day. I keep some on my bench and in the kit I take to teach. Works a treat!
Thanks lora for that additional tip. I also use Aloe Vera Squirt Gel (for sunburn). It helps alot!
ha! i'll have to try that, though i think i learned my lesson for a while :)
I've just let my hands turn into giant calluses.
Good crossover potential for playing guitar as well.
I've been enjoying this blog, it gives me something to look at until my classes start up again in sept.
