Bloody wood
« on: August 03, 2011, 10:52:56 pm »
I was finish sanding by hand a piece of Maple, when I turned it over to do the other side, it was covered in my blood. I somehow nicked my finger with out knowing it, then the panic started. Trust me when I say, blood and maple don't mix, I tried wiping the blood off the maple with water and a towel only to smear it and make it worse. I then remembered that hydrogen peroxide takes blood out of clothes and was hoping it would work on wood also, so I ran into the house grabbed a bottle and poured it on the effected area's of the maple....worked like a charm! I did that a couple times and the maple is back to looking as pretty as it did before the near fatal accident. Then I got a band-aide for my finger. I thought I would pass this along since we all work with sharp things and stuff does happen, thankfully I was able to save the patient this time.

I used hydrogen peroxide for years to help remove blood from my uniforms before washing. Never thought about using on wood. :)

That is a great tip. I've resorted to my own saliva before, it works well also the enzymes break down the blood.

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

When I used to install wallcovering as a business I invariably 'nicked' myself and got some blood on the back side of the material...
So I left a little part of me in every job!

If I'm not mistaken once blood dries, it turns brown over time. If you want RED you will need paint or some sort of dye.
Correct me if I'm wro,,  um   wr,,, mistaken.  LOL
