Hey guys
I have a fairly bad cut on the outside of my thumb from a rolled up piece of bowling tape. My fault I was to lazy to replace it for last 2 frames. My question is I have to bowl tonight and it’s in a bad place, will superglue hold it shut and keep it from tearing the rest of the way while I bowl?

Super glue will work.

super glue with a patch or some threads from a cotton ball will work even better.

Super Glue works, but I prefer NewSkin. With either, lay down a layer then put a small piece of cotton on top of the first layer, then paste the cotton down with a second layer. Give it plenty of time to dry before throwing a ball. Take some scissors and trim any loose cotton. It will stay in place until you bathe. -- JohnP

This seems to be the part everyone overlooks. Do it early and give it time to dry. Completely. Not a couple minutes but 10 or so. My son developed a bad cut at the base of his thumb. Hasn't been able to keep it closed. Finally got him to put the NewSkin on early. I did it for him. It held perfectly and for the first time in a week, his thumb didn't open up and bleed.
Don't be afraid to overlap and use two pieces of the cotton.

I’m just hoping there is enough room in my thumb slug. Thanks for the info guys
