Tile cement burns on finger tips

[mz30]

Ouch cement burns ,havent had them for a few years now but they dont half sting, dont wear gloves (tiling/grouting)think my hands have just got used to it,although i use a washboy most of the time so maybe that helps.

Go to the chemist and ask for a bottle of new skin its a bit like nail varnish I use it when my hands split or you get small pin holes in your skin from cement burns,used to get it a lot before washboys came out and was using a sponge and if you had a hole in your glove,dont get it so much now.And if that dont work you could always kit yourself out in a deep sea diving suit,lol

Can you put it on fingers that are already knackered?
Just dipped my finger in neat Bourbon by accident - had to peel myself off the ceiling

i always wear the old marigolds for grouting, get a few comments but better than the state my hands get in if i dont wear em! I did loads of labouring in Aus a few years back for brickies and i used to get the little holes in my fingers from shifting bricks all day, very painful. All the lads would tape up ends of their fingers to stop this and it works. I dont wear gloves when laying but use E45 cream morning and night and my hands are good, its always worse in this weather though, especially at end of day having to wash everthing outside freezing!!!!
