Micropore is excellent for retaining finger bandages, but after a day or two
becomes very difficult to peel off.
Anyone know a good softening agent that's safe to use ?

That's probably why he needs the finger bandage in the first place.

I hate to say it, but I wonder if WD-40 would work.

After all, in this application it doesn't need to lubricate anyway.

A day or two?

A bit too long to leave a finger bandage on IMHO.

You have not said what the damage to the finger was? That may alter things.

My finger cut that I got just before Easter is still healing and I soak the
cut in the bath every day.

I want a scar free heal and I will get one.

Not in mine.

My finger cut that I got just before Easter is still healing

I heal up a lot quicker than that.

and I soak the cut in the bath every day.

I want a scar free heal

Why ? So it flexes better etc ?

and I will get one.

I don’t find any of mine are any different to the surrounding flesh on that.

You do sometimes see some with a problem in that
regard, but that’s normally with severe burns, not cuts.

GASP - an electrician with a cut finger? Now that is a bloody miracle as
they don't do enough work to actually cause any damage to themselves - lazy
beggars!

And left totally speechless at the fact you "soak the cut in the bath every
day", again that's a rarity, an electrician getting dirty enough to have a
bath *every* day - the norm is usually once a month; whether they need one
or not.

Bloody prima donna's - one very big grin here!

Yep, their arses are usually big enough to accomodate that - although to
speak of millwrights and electricians in the same post is an insult to the
