I was starting to develop cracked, red lines all over my hands because of sweaty palms. I'm in the Tattoo business and I have to wear latex gloves about 8 hours a day. I thought I was having an allergic reaction to the the latex gloves I was using so I switched brands a few times. This made no difference I was still sweating from inside the glove.
I actually tried stuffing cotton balls down into the palm area of the glove to absorb some of the sweat. This worked but the bulges from the cotton balls really Freaked out some of my customers, they thought I had some type of freaky hand disease.
My Boss told me "You have to stop stuffing that shit down your gloves or I'm going to fire you..."
This was not good, Ink is my life!
I searched on Google all that night to find something I could use that wouldn't look all crazy and still keep the sweat away. Finally I found it!
It looks like a sock with holes cut in it for your fingers to stick out of, but it ain't no sock. This thing is called the GLOVE-MATE. It's this thin stretchable cotton that you put over your hand before you put the latex glove on. The glove does not have fingers and that helps me not loose any dexterity with my hands. The Glove-Mate is designed to absorb sweat from your hands, mainly the palm area. I love it, they come 100 to the box and one size fits all and the cost was only $20.00.
I included this picture for anybody looking for it. This thing has helped my hands get back to normal and I'm doing my best Ink work ever.
