how to stop bleeding?

Wrap with gauze and apply pressure for a while. It'll clot up.
Just wrap it and hold it over your head for a while...
Direct pressure, elevation, stop moving and lower your heart rate, apply pressure to the artery on the inside of your upper arm to reduce blood pressure in that hand.
How long has it been bleeding? If direct pressure isn't stopping the flow after a minute or two, you may need a couple of stitches. I've cut myself with Xactos a handful of times, and ended up getting stitches each time...buggers are sharp!
Or you could pretend you're in an Xtreme! adventure race and just hit it with a couple of drops of superglue.

forgot... not laceration... sliced off a dime sized area, so...?
doing that with ice
tampon
2 words......Duct tape
Didja eat it? I know I would.
Um...if it won't stop after a while, just go to the ER and let them deal with it.
When I almost sliced off the side of my thumb with an industrial razor knife I actually wrapped it in a paper towel and duct tape. Worked really well.
Why don't you ice a cut ? Just curious.
Oh and
Oh and
Wrap a piece of bacon around it. The pork will act as a coagulant.
Chili powder.
really.
but you have to actually hold still and let it seal up.. dispite the burning.

You do ride a mountain bike right?
amputate?
My grandmother used to tell me to put my finger in flour and then apply pressure over my head whilst relaxing/sitting down.
Write your name in blood on your front door.
Hell, if your gonna bleed you might as well do something productive with it.

Chili powder is so much more entertaining.
I've superglued myself back together a few times, I'm a bleeder. I tight bandaid will do wonders for a cut finger.
Make sure to bleed into some kind of container for later. Add a little rue, it makes great gravy.
LOL! So true!
supper simple, turn your iron on, and coterize it 
for finger cuts what i find works best, and on a lot of other cuts, is duct tape, just take some off, and slap it on there with a mild a mount of preasure, works like a charm. but just apply preasure and it will stop, some times it takes a little longer

Hmm, it's been more than 30 minutes.
get a knife with a fat blade, heat it up over a fire and push down on the area with the hot knife that is bleeding. this will cauterize it, if it is is a slice, that doesn't look so bad, you could get crazy glue and stick the skin together it works just as good as stitches. my dad is is a Dermatologist trust.
Usually only works on a laceration. Filet o' finger will probably require something else.
Well, that's all ok, but if you don't post any pics, we're gonna call bull$h!t...

TCfine, here's a pic...Well, that's all ok, but if you don't post any pics, we're gonna call bull$h!t...
Your finger looks more like a knee.
Cuz there's no point, and if you apply prolonged direct contact with ice it'll do more harm than good.
i take first aid classes and it's a good idea if all mt. bikers do really...
he asked for any pic.
Yeah - I know.
Is the knee pic from your surgury? You know the only reason why they staples the two small incisions is so they could charge you $300/staple.
I was going to say don't fall but it ends up you didn't.
yeah, one year ago next week.
They didn't charge "me"
but that's absurd and i can see why our system is screwed up.
