sticky plaster residue

Murtle

Hi,

I chopped myself last night :eek: and stuck a plaster on it!! Now that I have taken the plaster off, I am left with the icky residue, is there anything I can use to get it off?? I still have to be careful with cut as to much movement makes it bleed again!!!

Thanks in advance

Vaseline No vaseline? Olive oil rub it on the residue and then just wipe off (applying a little pressure only) with some kitchen roll/clean cloth

HTH

It's caused a chuckle with a few other board members too, they've been quite ...... inventive in their "definitions" LOL

Nail varnish remover will get sticky residue off, but DON'T GET IT NEAR THE CUT!!!!! ouch!
Try dabbing very carefully with a cotton bud dipped in NVR

:eek: Lucie!!!! What has Murtle ever done to upset you!!???? :rotfl:

I use NVR with sticky residue on mirrors and stuff (WD40 works as well, btw ) but oooooo-errrrrrr me toes are curling just at the mere thought of any stray atoms of NVR getting into the cut.

Don't be such a wimp Queenie

I thought my CAPITAL LETTERS would be sufficient warning that it will REALLY hurt!

I thinkI'll have to try the olive oil first....but if it's that stubborn, I'll try the nail varnish remover.....you can see my next post; how do I take the pain away .... :eek:

I know this does'nt help immediately, but you need to get some Micro Pore Tape in, the type they use in hospitals. And don't forget a packet of lindt so you can make your own plaster up.;)
Its a bit dearer but none of the sticky mess left around cuts or what ever.:)
HTH in the future.
