With a deeply cut finger, you'll want to be thinking about sutures. This isn't a classical First Aid procedure unless you're over 10 hours from help or doing military medic work. In this case, use direct presssure and a sterile gauze (or a few of them) to stop the bleeding, then bandage the gauze in place and transport to someone who can sututre the wound closed. Don't apply any antiseptic at all. In any case, while hydrogen peroxide is an excellent antiseptic, it's harsh on your cells. If I had to disinfect on-scene, I'd prefer to go with Betadyne. However, H2O2 would likely be next on my list. I might first flush a dirty wound with sterile water or normal saline.

Don't use alcohol to disinfect a deep wound.

How do you make hydrogen peroxide foam?

By putting your finger in it and soaking it. [I don't think this will work unless you have an open cut ;) Catalase is an enzyme contained in blood, and it speeds up (catalyses) the decomposition of H2O2. A drop of blood is what you need - from you, or from a steak! It breaks down into water and oxygen]
