Anything i can buy that will keep my hands dry?

Rubber marigolds arent an option as i'm allergic to rubber and had to buy special gloves for my work as we get supplied Nitrile/Vitrile by the work.


Thanks in advance.




Just get some polish place to clean it for like 4 quid lol

Do you mean a or a place?

The lack of a capital P suggests the first option, but i'm guessing you actually meant the second.

Drying your hands properly made a big difference to my hands, not had cracked skin for years.

Oh shit. Have you tried vinyl?

They tear much easier but can be an option.
I have terrible problems with latex so wear the nitrile ones instead as they are more flixible than vinyl.

The vitrile ones my work get in are vinyl based and seem to get the same reaction.

oh well that one is out the window

you could always buy a jet wash (that plugs in to your taps) and a propper brush mate means your not touching the water and no need for gloves then you can have the added benafit of getting a snow foam lance ect

How about a cotton inspection glove underneath so as to insulate your skin from the problem material?
