Gypsyjen Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Tonight I was fixing a container with a blow dryer (still haven't gotten around to getting a heat gun) and blew hot wax into my right eye! :embarasse I hope my eyesight returns to normal eventually, LOLBe careful out there, folks!

tlc26 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I use the general rule! I point the heat source away from the body!!! Hope you heal up!!!! Put milk in your eye. It is an old swimming trick. It works better than any kind of eye drops. I used to do that when I was swimming 8 hours a day for the synchronized swimming team.

topofmurrayhill Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 You know what they say Jennifer - you're much more likely to cut yourself with a dull knife than a sharp one. I think the blow dryer was your dull knife tonight. They blow a LOT more air than heat guns while making much less heat. I wouldn't be pointing one of those at molten wax.

sudsnwicks Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 You could try wearing goggles if you need to use the blow dryer again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
