Oilatum emollient cream is great every night and morning at this time of year.

Stops the hacks from beginning.

If you do get a bad one, a big blob of sudocreme and cover with a plaster overnight. In the morning it'll be useable and almost healed.

what about these babys .

Some of the sites that we work on we have to wear gloves they make my hands dry and start splitting.

I suffer with this, wearing cut gloves work. They are tight fitting.

If your skin splits with the cold, an electricians first aid comes into its own.... Use PVC conduit glue to form a waterproof barrier, and wrap insulating tape around, if its a finger. The tighter the better.

Norwegian hand cream is good stuff.

 

[Matt168]

Okeefs hand cream is brilliant, usually buy from Screwfix or Wickes

 

[Baddegg]

Insulation tape better than any plaster ever!

 

[telectrix]

never suffered from split skin, but a slight graze on arm/s causes excessive bleeding. bog roll and ins. tape instant fix. when get time, maybe a dressing plaster 3" x 2".

I was given a box of latex/surgeon type gloves by a customer yesterday and wore them today and they were really good, were blue though and I looked a complete numpty! Superglue helps to seal up splits.

I had that problem, now I wear gloves and use O'keef's cream and never had it since!

Thought I was the only one to get these. Mine always split right near the corner of the nail. Thumbs and some fingers.

Whilst we're admitting to ailments anyone else got a massive lump on their wrist (ganglion?) from years of screwing (gforr, gforr). Dr said I have to hit it with a bible but being an atheist there isn't one in the house!
