[TheForge] burns

[Andy Gladish]

Jer, sorry to hear about the burn, even a minor one can cramp your style.

I don't know where I first heard about this, but I keep Lavender oil in the
shop- when I get a burn (almost always at a black heat) I start alternating
lavender oil and dunks in the slack tub and keep working- it hurts like
blazes for an hour or two, then I forget about it.

Heals without a scar almost always.

I don't know why it works so well- I don't care about pleasing any MDs, all
it has to do is work, and it does, every time.
