Barrier Cream

[Air21]

I work in a machine shop and I've been doing some fiberglass work on weekends. I want to try a barrier cream but I don't know anyone with first hand experience using them... So to my greasy, oily, gritty nailed compatriots in the Garage Journal Brain Trust,

Here are some examples:
ExtraSkin™
Ghost Glove
Gloves in a Bottle
Workman's Friend
pr88


What brands have you tried? How did they work? What do you use them with?

A friend of mine that worked at a shop that painted alot of vettes gave me some good advise when working with fiberglass. Wash your self off with cold water. If you use warm water, it opens up your pores and the fiberglass gets deeper into your skin.

I'd give you a bottle of Ghost Glove if you were nearby.

The stuff is garbage.

This is VERY true.

I have an old can of Wurth Invisible Glove. While it does work, it certainly isn't like magic where all the crud just rinses off your hands. You still have to scrub, but it is much easier to clean your hands. I'm sure there's better products out there by now.

Ive worked with some nasty, sticky chemicals. We were supplied PR88 and Travibon from Stoko. The PR88 is better.

I second the advise to wash up in cold water. Also works for Onions and Garlic so you dont stink.

I cannot speak about to the barrier creams as I have never used them, but I used to do industrial water filtration and we changed large fiberglass filters. Whatever gets through your shirt, barrier cream gloves etc. can be removed with cold water and running ***** hose across your skin. The ***** hose easily nab the jagged fiberglass. Hope that helps some
