That's great that there is no serious damage! Just a flesh wound. Only trouble is when all the other pilots are showing off their scars on their hands you'll need to take off your shoes!

Dang Brian, Glad you're ok. That's about worst prop cut I ever seen! Man I think about stuff like that happening all the time, just glad stitches took care of it and no major damage inside...

Glad the sandels survived! [:D][:D]

Heal up quick buddy![8]

Stitches? Stitches are for wooses. Real men pinch and use CA! Pretty obvious how I know! [:I]

Glad no permanent damage.

I think Brian should just have covered it with Tanglefoot!

I have been using the double sided carpet tape. I don't even try to take it off. When the stickiness goes away I just slap another layer over the top. I haven't had a wing survive long enough yet to see more than 3 layers.[:D]
Sticky stuff (rooster jizz as we call it) is about the most annoying thing out there. I'll almost fly a bare wing before using it.

Since you are tanglefoot deprived, I will be glad to deposite some on your plane after taking your streamer.[;)][}:)]

When it comes to the furball, cuts happen so fast that it is sometimes hard to determine who is responsible for that floating streamer. I prefer to have the 'proof in the pudding.'
Longhaul- Thanks for the clean-up tip, that will also help to keep the moths out of my hanger!

Do you realize that one of the first uses of CA was as a quick suture material?

Used in Vietnam.

Still used today.
