I used to use super glue on cuts. If I got a cut on my finger (at the time an occupational hazard lol) I would put super glue on it an *boom* I could play lol. The best thing to prevent sore fingers is PLAY ALOT lol That would be a great excuse you know. "I would love to not play right now but if I do my fingers will get tender and sore. You don't want me to hurt do you?" lol legitimate and manipulative works everytime lol jk
