Hey, guys, I managed to smash a fingernail in an arbor press (strictly
from momentum in the ram) just at the base of the nail. Wiped up the
immediate blood and finished off the shipment of tachos. ;-) After
oozing blood and evil-smelling pus for a week or so, it healed up, but
now the nail is detaching from the cuticle end, leaving only about
1/4" near the finger tip attached.

I'm thinking it might be prudent to superglue the dead nail to the new
one that is growing underneath before it catches on something and rips
the $#$# out of the end of my finger.. anyone tried this? It's curling
up a bit as it dries up, so it might end up warping the new nail is my
main worry.



Best regards,
Spehro Pefhany
