Barrier cream

[Spare Tool]

Been doing ten hours a day six days a week for the last month and my fingers and thumbs are splitting down to the bone and can't take anymore, anyone know of a barrier cream or something like (besides marigolds that I've been wearing for grouting)to stop the cracks and wearing down the skin??

I don't think a barrier cream would be any good as when it gets wet you end up with slippery hands, or at least it used to when I started in the motor trade 35 years ago!

gloves will help

I suffered with that and the only answer for me was to wear decent gloves with the finger tips slightly cut off and when using water switch to marigolds

What sort of gloves, I'd be scared of dropping a tile on a bath or shower tray if my hands wernt in full contact with the tile..it's about time someone brought out a proper barrier cream...got hands like grade 3 sandpaper, plus my birds tights are laddering at the first stroke

Too much information!
Your lass would appreciate a few weeks of you wearing latex!
None of the tight heavy gloves just thin durex thin so you can feel the tiles.
