this tiling lark plays havoc with your hands. tried wearing gloves but then your hands wrinkle like mad stuck in them all day. i suppose it would have to be barrier cream.
what does anyone else do to for there beut...eerrr

i wear latex gloves whilst grouting

i wear them whilst grouting timothy but it is the adhesive that is stuck to my hands. its this bal single part that is stook on. no matter how i scrub them i still have a white film on them.
all this wet trades stuff is ruining my craftsmen hands

gloves??? white film on your hands??? Fuc$ing homosexuals

The next floor you Grout, try using Ardex C2 with 101 admix, that stuff really is bad for your hands, it takes a good week to come off, dries your hands out like nothing else.

I never use gloves for grouting, they fill up with water

i have a wet sponge when using adhesive and clean up as I go along

ive tried using marigolds as they are longer sio less chance of getting water in them.
i also do have a sponge as i am going along but with 600x300 porcelain tiles that need back buttering as well it still gets on your hands. i do wipe it off with a sponge but whn my hands dry it is there, ground in

I paint my hands in PVA. A bit of water and that comes off taking all the other stuff with it.

I have a friend that is an artexer and sometimes he has to pattern the artex with his fingers to acheive a medusa pattern for example. He rubs plenty of vaseline in his hands before and after and he says that works
