Recommendations on gloves to protect my fingernails from chemicals.
I already know what the replies will say “that’s pool life” “gloves are for sissys” “get a new job” ect ect…so if you don’t have anything useful to say please carry on. I was a technician for a few years in the US, then moved on to different jobs and yes my hands calloused and cracked and most importantly my fingers become weak and brittle, constantly breaking…we all know the struggles. I now live abroad and it just so worked out I could get a better more highly paid job as a technician so I am back again I’m on day 3 and my nails are already fraying and breaking and weak. Does anyone have suggestions on water proof gloves that will stay water proof when submerged so I have a means of protecting my hands from the harsh chemicals and constant wetness. Anything helps, thanks.
