Any tips on stopping a bleeding injury that doesn't respond well to direct pressure?

OK, messed up slicking some stuff yesterday and sliced off a patch of skin on my thumb. I have had direct pressure on it for well over 24 hours and it still bleeds. Is there something I can get at a pharmacy other than more bandages to get this thing to clot?
