got mine from Cromwell toolshttps://www.cromwell.co.uk/shop?query=barrier%20creamThanks a lot gents, Any recommendations to a brand?
Been using it for years, after an unexpected episode of dermatits caused by brake fluid, and definitely worthwhile. Still working my way through a big bag of it I got from work years ago, as a little goes a long way. In the expectation of running out long before now, I got some replacement from ebay.More for one of my boys who works on a lathe all day but I'm also interested.
Is barrier cream a benefit to hand care and helps wash off ingrained Jabberwocky at the end of work or is it more trouble than its worth. Any good brands? Cheers
I tried barrier cream years ago
Never really got away with it
Now i wear good quality nitrile gloves (the orange ones) 90 % of the time at work
Fairly clean hands now
I dont as a rule wear nitrile gloves at home when machining
Never wear them when welding or burning they will burn and stick to your skin
When I was a mechanic I used it all the time, wurth stuff is good but the best was a big tub of out of date ex army stuff.
They used to supply it at work and i found it a pain, the dust and dirt off the stainless steel used to stick to the cream, it never seemed to dry fully. My hands used to wind up more dirty then if i had not used it.
years ago it was allways rozalex in factories.. here.https://www.demon-tweeks.com/rozale...VVODtCh0uqg8uEAAYAiAAEgLGGPD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.dsThere was pink barrier cream provided at the steelworks that was good.
With probably any cream, I find that skin has to be pretty much bone dry before applying. If you wash your hands and even used them hand blowers, then applied the cream it still didn't soak in. There was a need to wait about about 10 minutes before applying. Otherwise it never seemed to soak in as you say.
If I could think of the name I would buy some for home use though. Putting cream on the hands in a morning generally is not a bad thing if you're always messing with stuff.
