Normally doesn't bother me - I like to get a few days off between big jobs but tis the silly season atm.
Anyway they've been doused in my wee!
Will see what they're like in the morning.
My index finger has a great big hole in it - it appeared in an hour laying this floor!

Wear them just with grouting as said above. Or at least when spreading adhesive and laying the normal field tiles. Perhaps when doing the cutting it's not worth the hassle but surely most other times its fine?

You can get some pretty neat thin gloves that fit tight. My mechanic mate has 2 sizes in his garage as he's got a midget and a tubby working for him. So between the two sizes they all have some that fit snug. No excuses when you lose nuts or bolts either as he's worn them himself for like 12 years and knows the drill. I'm sure it's just a case of getting used to them like with anything else.

I'd imagine cutting even ceramics on a rail cutter you'd end up with them torn to shreds, but surely the main tiles that are not cut you'd not even notice wearing them?

Wet nitrile gloves get so slippy - used to work in a lab and wore them all the time.
I know they'd just get a little hole in and then be worse of.
Will pop some on for grouting tomorrow though as a broken collar bone was nothing compared to this pain - like having mouth ulcers on your finger tips!

This stuff is the bees knees. My Dad who was a stonemason used it, I haven't used any better, and believe me I've tried so, so many !!

I go through loads of gloves myself, but it's a small price to pay for protection. As regards to acid on your hands, it's true that vinegar does restore the ph balance of your skin. So pi55ing on your hands won't do you any harm. The problem is that if it works for you then nobody will ever shake your hand or nick your trowels!! Do you ever breathe in addy or grout dust? Then drinking pi55 would definitely relieve your sore throat!!!
