barrier cream?

[ryanbrown]

Anyone heard of barrier cream and use it to protect your hands to stop all this skin agitation business caused by adhesive?

Hi Ryan, Barrier cream is great stuff, used it for a lot of years especially when I worked on ships, really protects, you have to re apply if your hands get wet to keep up protection. Lots of makes out there to choose from. Coco

we find surgical gloves are the way forward, or there are another tight fitting one that we use.

Barrier cream is good and helps protect but washes off with water so depending how often you wash yourhands it doesnt last long..

Dispoable gloves are the future!

Have a look at "gloves in a bottle" lotion. Excellent stuff, does NOT wash off and allows skin to re-moisturise from the inside. Only comes off by natural exfoliation. I use it all the time and I have had my bottle about 4 months now.

I find I have to use surgical gloves these days,. especialy when grouting, as it aggravates my dermatitis if I don't. Something I picked up after many years in construction industry, foolishly sticking my bare hands into various cement based products without any kind of protection. So be warned all you newbies out there, you know it makes sense, something I was lacking in my youth.

thought i'd made an idiot of myself with this post - i realised after that barrier cream would wash off when you clean your hands - but if you CAN get stuff that doesnt wash off - gloves in a bottle - thats ideal.
Tried disposable gloves but they always get snagged on something, and i can still feel a bit of agitation on the sking even after wearing these..and thicker gloves are too cumbersome and you have no dexterity left, so gloves in a bottle could be the best solution (pun sadly intended).

Best and cheapest way ryan is to keep a bucket of water with you while you work and regulary clean your hands to avoid the adhesive/cement drying your lovely soft hands out...or you could be like the rest of us and let them harden up....:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: .....soz mate only :joker: ing
