The gals are back after a week off and they are full of safety information for you. That is right, as accident prone as Katie is, and as much as Sharon laughs about that, they are pretty serious about studio safety. Just think how much worse things would be if Katie didn’t take safety precautions!

We start off today’s episode with some discussion about first aid kits and what you should have in them. Along with the no brainers like Band-Aids; gauze pads, medical tape, antibiotic ointment, Bactine, disinfectants (rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide), the gals also list a few things you may not have thought of.

They also talk a lot about safety equipment that you should have in your studio and why you need it. There is a lot to learn here if you are unfamiliar with things like Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), you might want to jot down a few notes. Most of the products and items talked about in this episode are easily found at any grocery store; pharmacy, hardware store, or art supply store but Katie did mention a cut resistant glove that none of us had ever heard of so here is a link to our search results on Amazon (we didn’t want to link one specific product since we are not familiar with any of them http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_kk_1?rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Acut+resistant+gloves&keywords=cut+resistant+gloves&ie=UTF8&qid=1403743300.

Our old friend Super Glue comes into play again in this episode… it seems someone let Katie get her hands on a tube recently and… well… you know what happened. Sharon came up with the excellent idea of adding a page to our blog dedicated to shit Katie has glued herself to. This will be happening in the next day or two, complete with pictures! We will announce the page completion on our Facebook page and Twitter as soon as it is up.
