Doing yard work been getting my hands and fingers sliced up, haven’t been this regularly wounded since 6th grade which I like, but all the cuts are on edges and bending surfaces that Band-Aids are shit for, the exact kind of operating surfaces of the hand where I don’t want a flap of skin hanging loose waiting to get caught on something.

Tried getting gauze rolls and Johnson + Johnson waterproof medical tape; maybe that works for larger wound dressings but on a finger it slips off too easy. Keeping the gauze and switching the tape to electrical is better, but I’m concerned that’s too easy to make tight enough to cut circulation. I try to be loose and lap it around a broader area, but don’t want to bind too many knuckles’ worth of the finger.

Any suggestions?
