Is hand protection available for plasterering?

Question

I am considering a career as a plasterer and wish to know if they wear any special gloves or barrier cream whilst working : or do the experienced not come into cotact with water or much plaster!

Answer 1

you may have sensetive skin,so use barrier cream each day and after you wash your hands at the end of the day use something like nivea hand cream ( you may take a bit of a slagging for this but you must take care of your hands )

Answer 2

nah you don't need any hand protection, just wash your hands afterwards. ex plasterer with nice soft hands..

Answer 3

at a rough guess plastering is not for you

Answer 4

As previously stated by Aquinas. I think that your career in plastering stops here ( gloves/barrier cream ) I would love to see the reaction of the other blokes when they see you wearing that getup on a building site! Try another softer/laid-back job!

Answer 5

Latex gloves like the skin tight ones , any lime based products are very hard on the skin , protect yourself now , rather than suffer later  

Answer 6

use barrier cream suitable for wet (water) tasks rather than dry (oil, grease etc)
