:shock:

That looks painful!

I am always careful now when sanding. I have cut myself on a few occasions when sanding the edge of perspex with wet and dry paper, a few times the block has slipped and so I have run my hand down the sharp edge on the perspex, luckily I have never needed any stitches.

Seriously though, that looks pretty damn nasty. Have you got it removed yet?
