Are we talking rod wrapping? If so, file the feet of your guides, feed the thread into the wrap at an angle coming in from over the wraps already laid down, and keep your thread tension constant. When done, burnish the wrap to even out the spaces.

No tying buck tail onto hooks my thumbs and fore fingers are like 80 grit so when I touch the thread under tension at all it just separates instantaneously. I put on rubber gloves after swearing for a minute

I too have hands of "burrs". Sucks when I'm rod wrapping. Price we pay for using our hands to make a "buck".I try to cream them throughout the winter to combat this. Just be sure to wash the oils off if rod wrapping and touching plugs prior to epoxy.

Use a pumice stone in the shower to remove top layers of callused/split skin when hands are wet and soft. Go easy at first. Huge difference after a couple days.

Mark, try putting a few drops of super glue on the threads in between wraps, that way if it breaks you don't lose the whole wrap.

Use a good hand cream every night as you go to bed. It's the only way.

Use a pumis stone or lava hand soap. It will take a lot of the loose skin off.

The lava type, sand soap as I call it, is what ruins my hands this time of year. I wash my hands at least 10 times a day at work with this type of soap to get oil and such off. My hands are so dry as the soap does a great job of getting the oil off the skin but also the oil in the skin. It is the lack of humidity in the air too and the dry heat being on all the time. My hands look like I am a 100 years old. Lots and lots of Curel cream applied thru out the day this time of year.
You look like you could use a cheese grater on those hands though.
