Over the last few years in my current home, there's been a saddeningdecrease in the production of half finished jobs.I blame the onset of hand eczema, which flares up after contact withmany household and workshop chemicals and stops me in my tracks.I've tried latex and nitrile gloves. The ones thin enough to allowreasonably precise handling usually disintegrate just at the wrongmoment. They also become disturbingly moisture filled during quiteshort periods of use.I've been Googling around on the subject and have seen severalversions of "Liquid Gloves", such as this one on ebay: until now I've used a lot of Neutrogena concentrated hand creamwhich is pretty good, though quite expensive when used in generousquantities. It also tends to wash off a little too easily in wetconditions.Can anyone recommend an effective product from their own experience,or even offer a formula for producing a batch of home made variant?I see that a lot of the more resilient hand creams contain glycerinewhich is quite easily available.

Barrier cream shouldnt cost that muchNT

D-I-Y liquid gloves?

Must be a great cure for hairy feet.

The bottom of my feet is where I do like to lose it from time to time, though I can see that there would need to be a limit.

This is supposed to be a serious subject but don't let that deter gents.
