<< .after using "magic glove" which is mixture of sodium silicate and other

beginning work! I'f you're not going to get your hands wet, this
works great. Just get a bar of ivory, get it a little wet, work up
some soap slime, and then just work it into your hands, paying particular
attention to the fingernails, cuticles, etc.: all those places that
require a wire brush and Lava to get halfway presentable.
Once you've worked the soap in until your hands are dry again (1-2 min.)
You're ready for work. When you're done, you'll find that the grease and
grime come off much easier!
an' it's cheap, too!

There is a product called "Bag Balm" that will help keep your hands from
getting so grubby. It also prevents chapping and has an anti-biotic in it.
Any feed store has it, and it's pretty cheap. Simply put it on and rub it
in before you wrench.
It's used on dairy cattle, hence the name.
