more the effect of washing my hands so often


Interesting. I'm using lots of bars of soap, sanitiser, fairy, liquid soap and shampoo. We have a vulnerable house mate so lots of washing of hands, but my nails have never been better. I use clear nail varnish "Modelsownit" twice a week, and superglue (on the advice of Ricardo [;)]) on my middle and ring fingers every 2 weeks. And I'm doing lots of RAS at the moment with my Farruca and a lot of strumming to classic folk/pop using nails.

To support my wife I'm eating a lot of vegan food. Meat and fish just once a week as a treat, and then not much. That does seem to have a correlation but that might just be in my head [8|]

Just a thought - El Burdo has your diet changed in these testing times?

I do think that everything changes for the better when I reduce meat and the only reason I don't is the alternative - but we do try. Fish at least once, but it's not like Cadiz market over here.

Juan Martin book says one should eat gelatine everyday for strong nails, most easily in the form of jelly-cubes. It's on page 31.

more the effect of washing my hands so often, using anti-bacterial soap (counterintuitively recommended against viral infection) has led to my nails drying out horribly, splitting and cracking etc etc.


(antibacterial soap does nothing against viruses; but the surfactants in it, if any, would work against it by destroying its fatty cell membrane)

It is not the frequent washing itself that dries out your nails (in fact washing, as in contact with H2O, hydrates your nails); the issue is that washing strips the thin layer of natural (or not) oils from your fingernails.

You can wash as frequently as you like, but you do have to apply immediately after each washing a tiny bit of hand cream on the nails (nothing special is needed) to restore the protective oil layer (protection against excess H2O evaporation).

Olive oil, organic cold pressed.

Over a year ago I was in the shop and had been glueing up a neck with epoxy and I ended up using alcohol to clean up my hands. Afterwords they were crazy dry. I had my French polishing kit right there and took my squeeze bottle of olive oil and put a few drops in my palm, worked my nail cuticle area into the oil to wet them out then just rubbed the rest into my hands.

Lot of lotions out there that could contaminate a glue joint or cause issues with French polish if it was to soak into the wood.

Anyway, I've been using the olive oil on my hands in the shop without issue for over a year. Looks good in the hair too ;)

What's really crazy is my nails are better then they have been in my life. No special diet but I'm not doing anything to tear them off! You know all those build videos Tom puts up, I was always in envy of his nails in particular his pulgar, I mean how does one build guitars and keep nails like that? I'm almost there 👍

Now if I could keep from grinding my index nail paper thin...

But he also says don't EVER wash up. That ain't about to happen here.

Wash up with your left hand. Your right hand and finger nail will barely come into contact with detergent.
