Protect Your Hands

I have started bandaging my first and little fingers to prevent calluses and skin irritation from the oils and other chemicals on string. I use sheer extra large bandages, designed for larger cuts and scrapes (4 inches long and 1.75 inches wide). I position the padded side on the heel of the little finger, and on the thumb side of the first finger (between the first and second knuckle, where I grip the string).
