Reply To: Dry slippery hands – any cures?

Common adverse effect from a plethora of drug classes. To eliminate the reduced sudomotor function, an alternative free from the effect has to be found, and that is often difficult. Then, there are a substantial number of chronic diseases, ranging from autoimmune ones to nerve entrapment. Finally, it seems in many instances to be an idiopathic condition

In my case it’s a consequence of medication, and with no hope of finding an alternative I’ve resorted to using thin gloves. The ones on the attached photo provide very high friction, which is really great for lifting and fixating; not only do lids come off jars a lot easier, but they are also a great aid at the shooting board and when marking out. Their drawback is that they can become warm.

The ones linked, I use for all other woodworking. They are thinner, increase friction, don’t hamper touch very much, and they reduce injuries (very important, given my clumsiness).
