If you have to ask why...
But if you DID burn your thumb, you could repair most of the damage with your manicure set and small bottle of clear nail polish, which should be next to the hair dryer in your kit.
I'll have you know that the only nail polish in my toolbox is RED, and that's used for coloring #57 bulbs because 57Rs don't seem to be widely available anymore...
...aw, hell, I'm not going to win this one, am I?

(I still say that a heat gun/hair dryer is a handy tool. And if you met me, you'd see right quick that I have no use for one for my hair...)

Factory equipment for dashboard lights on '64 Studebakers. Instead of using a red filter, they simply specified red bulbs for the instrument backlighting.

Get a spray can of Candy Apple Red at your local hobby store. It is more translucent than nail polish. I use it to paint a spotlight bulb for Christmas decorating. .
Maybe so, but it's well-lubricated rust.
