Default Re: Tip Of The Day

Carry around a bottle of Lubriderm hand lotion in your work truck. Every day before putting your gloves on, or before starting to work; lotion your hands liberally, rub it in good, then wipe off the excess.

Keeps your dry hands from absorbing mix and bar oil and other fun stuff, so you don't smell or feel like it at the end of the day.


Been doing some concrete work for a friend who's getting permited as the first house in Los Angeles county to build a house that's run purely solar with no grid-tie.
Using liberal almounts of lotion before working with concrete, mixers, mortar, and block keeps the lime from sucking your hands dry and keeps them feeling good at the end of the day.
