Boring subject but my hands are f####d! I need to wear gloves but can't find any that I can comfortably hold the trowel while wearing,I've tried marigolds and shed loads of others.has anybody got any ideas ? Cheers!

i use screwfix or travis ones.

rubber palms cloth back hands.

only a quid or two. light enough for trowel work

Have you tried using a barrier cream before you start work? Neutrogena hand cream sorted my hands out when I was doing more screeding.

GrantyBoy · Apr 9, 2016

Gripz lite are good gloves. Can still feel the trowel.

taylor · Apr 9, 2016

Cheers guys I've used barrier creams for a while but I think my hands are starting to ache because there wet all day so I want cover them up. I'll check the gloves out today :birra:

I use to take a small towel to work to keepmy hands dry... also cork handles also help

taylor · Apr 10, 2016

Don't diss the marigolds ha ha! I know I may look ridiculous but there a life saver on rendering jobs

If you are involved with lime gloves are an absolute necessity, I've had cracks on my fingers which are sooooooo painful.

taylor · Apr 10, 2016

My fingers lock up in the mornings which is worrying so I'm thinking if I keep them dry it will help

When most trowels had wooden handles we used to put olive on them would soak in and keep them and your hands from cracking and drying out

algeeman · Apr 26, 2016

I do my own labouring.......f**k getting wet....hands feet fanny....I keep it all dry.

First thing I do is get rid of the rubber handle s**t..! You can feel more through a wooden handle and they stay warmer in the hand
