Fingertips all jacked up after too much practicing - any advice?

Wim, the weekend is over, stop practicing and come see what people have said.

Wow pretty impressive ....Imagine if you had to do it all with only two

I remember playing your guitar. The action was reasonably high and don't you use extra heavy strings for the high e and b?

I try to keep the action between 2-3mm (checking with a black gator at 12th fret). Yes I put a higher tension for the high E and B. Hmm, probably it exacerbate things.
Is surgical spirit the same as rubbing alcohol? I like the superglue idea, will try that out.

Don't put chemicals on your fingers, dude.

I had some surgery a couple of years ago and they used superglue instead of stitches.

If you're worried get the medical superglue with Octyl Cyanoacrylate.

OK @Wim Glenn , you've now made me feel guilty about not practicing enough!
