Resin in the Eye

sorry dude that sucks_ i once was working under my truck and got a metal splinter in my eye-it was a ***** but i finally got it out with tweezers. i hate the eye ****.

 

yeah, go to an optometrist/ophthamoligist asap. You're eyes aren't worth fvcking around with.

 

And next time wear eye protection...goggles etc.
I know...easy to post event quarterback, but you only get one set, man.

 

I read that while post in suspense wondering how it was going to turn out....sounds rough. Than I read that last line and saw the video and started cracking up. No offense. Songs going to be stuck in my head from like a week now

 

at least you got the chance to remind me/us of a great song/band

 

Damn Slashy, hope you're aight. How's it holding up today?

Props for the appropriate video.

Man, that's a sharty feeling...never got resin in the eye, but taken direct hits w/ bleach and tar, and I reckon it really made me nervous.

And, amigo, I have to say, Safety First, next time.

 

Never got resin in my eye. Once without thinking wiped my chin and lip with the back of my hand after mixing up a batch of resin. I did not realize that there was mec peroxide catylist on the glove I was wearing. It only affected where it contacted my lower lip. Instant chemical burn blisters. Judging by how bad it instantly blistered my lip its safe to say you'd be blinded if you ever had that get in direct contact with your eye.

 

I wear these... http://www.homedepot.com/p/3M-Tekk-...lf-Frame-Safety-Glasses-92232-80025/202551329 I have a tinted pair for working outside, too.

It's all you really need. I always wear them glassing and when routing fin box holes... not planing, although I should.

 

unfortunately, one of our local pro-surfers....is a poster child for this.

 

and still pumpin out good music to this day

 

got some poly resin in my eye last year while glassing a board. just a tiny speck while pulling the squeegee over the rail a bit too agressively just as I finished the board. I had taken by safety goggles off because they were fogging while using a respirator.

noticed that my eyelid was sticking a bit when i closed/opened my eye.
Flushed the eye with water for several minutes....
The sticking sensation lasted for a couple hours, then went away.

Went out and bought the respirator/eyeshield combo

 

i wish they still played 90's punk like that in surf videos.

 

next time try a magnet off the fridge! IT WORKS!

 

nice...after so long & thanks for all the shoes, and the decline my attention to epitaph/fat records socal punk days kind of, well, declined...have to check 'em out again

 

Once I had to go to an eye doctor so he could peel back my eyelid and remove a jellyfish tentacle the day after I got hit with it. My eye was all puffed up, I had tried flushing, and finally gave up and wet to the doc. 10 minutes later I was fine.

 

Got some styrene in my eye about 5 years ago when fixing some stress cracks in a board...the stinging was unbelievable. Washed it out for about 20 minutes...can't believe I'm not blind.

 

Ppe
