Surprized to see this thread is still "burning" strong.
This is an old shot of my very burned finger right after I did it.
It got much uglier as it healed, but healed up fine, and in less than 2 weeks,
thanks to a cream I got at the ER called silvadene. It is a miracle cream
for burns. I think about what I did that day every time I torch.
I think about NOT doing it again, for sure. Painfull. ALL of the skin fell off
my finger, it was a mess. Can't reccomend passing your finger thru the flame
when dipping a starfish in clear frit. Nope. Don't do it.
