"First Aid Nearby?" Topic

I have band aids and super glue at the painting table and with the 15mm pikes. That's always been good enough.

Super glue at hand, band-aids in the bathroom (or even closer in my travel kit if I'm packing XActo knives)

I've had an XActo knife in my hand since I was about 8.

Sometimes I take it out and put a bandaid on.

First aid kit in the bathroom 10' away. When I screw up it is often on a grand scale.

I guess up the steps counts as one room away.

Sorta depends on where I'm working, doesn't it? But 14 paces from the first-aid shelf to the furthest place I'd be using superglue or an X-Acto knife.

Substantially further if I fall off a ladder cleaning gutters.

I don't have a first aid kit. So for I've never needed one.

If anything serious happens the local ambulance station is about two minutes away…

Golly! So far, the worst thing that has happened to ME (as opposed to what has happened to my beloved yet fragile toys) has been a careless or unfortunate gash with a knife blade. Or the unavoidable and annoying SuperGlue on fingers. I've been lucky. Knock-knock on my noggin.

Once while painting, I was given a dram of Jeppson's Malört. Does that count?

The only treatment was a chaser glass of Old Style.

Paper towels at my craft table and a roll of table in my desk next to where I work for cuts.

I don't really have a first-aid kit as such, but I've got some acetone at the painting table for superglue accidents and there's a cupboard with band-aids etc downstairs.

I don't recall ever cutting me bad enough I needed a band-aid while doing miniatures, though.

I cut down to the bone one day, working on a particularly tough piece of Pewter. I actually have a suture kit, but I wounded my dominant hand and was unable to apply them, so off to Urgent Care I went!!
Now I keep a tube of surgical glue at my station…
