DIY composite bandage

Ikea glasses are weak. We bought a dozen small juice glasses last week, so far 4 have chipped lips. I find out they have chipped lips when I cut my knuckle trying to clean the bottom of the glass when doing the dishes.

Bandages don’t stick to knuckles. However Nu-Skin does. It’s like crazy glue with antibiotic mixed in. Trouble is, it likes to peel off and will only last a day at most. I took some 3m skin tape and placed it on top of the Nu-Skin liquid bandage. The skin tape absorbed the liquid making the bandage much more durable. I felt like I was fiberglassing my knuckles, but it works well, and is mostly transparent.
