Looks good Richard. Always nice to see some paint go on.

Ouch Richard. I have been in a similar situation when I got caught up in a radio controlled aircraft prop. Had two fingers strapped up and they healed nicely.

Thanks Jim, actually it's a relief that painting has started on the Hurricane. So many things have happened along the way I thought I had better finish it once and for all.

Ah Steve...another walking wounded among us.

I hope you'll recycle the gauze as a camo net at some point down the line. In all seriousness, hopefully it's a quick recovery!

Would love to but being an absorbable gauze nothing much is left when I open the dressing. The remainder unused gauze is barely 2x2cm in size and the mesh weave makes a pattern of tiny round holes and not the square criss cross weave on ordinary gauze.
Basically the wound has healed with no pain except for the unsightly gash. It's as if I over filed halfy my nail.
Gauze is so good that I'll save it for another bleeder...touch wood it doesn't happen.
