Had a look on the history about this stuff. how can i get hold of some as i'm suffering with really poor skin from my job, and i'm off on a trip in a couple of weeks. Cheers

What's your job? I'd only recommend it for toughening thin skin, not soft skin.

[joeb]

it's not really a job more of stuntman type role, i put up TV aerials and dishes but with the recent wet and cold weather pushing on connectors has meant my skin has flaked really badly. had it not been for my beastmaker the luxury of a non resin board i think i would have had to of stopped my having a new baby and trying to still train regime.

I think if your skin is flaking badly anti-hydral might just make things worse. It works best for people who have quite oily skin - those with dry skin often experience cracks, etc.

[Johnny Brown]

That's kinf of what I suspected. I wouldn't use Antihydral. Just take care on the first few days of your trip - keep your hands as dry as possible and sand any flakey areas. Use of Antihydral WILL, unless you're very lucky, lead to massive hideous flappers.

not to mention splits so deep you could ab into them.

[joeb]

thanks for the advice, when is it useful ?

[Bubba]

It's most useful if you're a sweaty handed bastard.

[Johnny Brown]

With very thin skin.

I only use it to squeeze an extra session or two out of the end of a trip or spell of good weather.

[dave]

I also use it to dry out a bad split faster to allow it to be sanded away fast. Again, this is handy on a font trip etc.

[joeb]

still sounds like something handy (pardon pun intended) to have in your arsenal (not the football team and i'm sure not the correct spelling) is it best to get it abroad ?

[Johnny Brown]

I think you can buy it from chemists in Switzerland. Otherwise I think The Works had a boxful? One tube will last you 5 years +.

I've always got it from mycare.de, they offer a very fast service, i think the shipping may cost more than the antihydral tho, so maybe better contacting the works.
