"Tinter's Thumb" ?

[Guest tintgod]

I dont have what you are talking about...but I do get the tips of my fingers crack..dont know what it is from..it may be from pulling panels...maybe I should stop doing that...I know that someone is going to suggest that...so.. I just said it first..

now you got me scoping my thumbs,dont think I have it,but sometimes my fingers will lock after a really busy week.   

TC,

If you are not arthritic the condition of locking fingers usually stems from dehydration.

Drink plenty of water and Gatorade during the busy season and don't party too hard the night before a busy day.

[Guest SQUEEGEE]

I haven't gotten tinter's thumb yet but I get ingrown thumbnails that are painful as hell when I squeegee. Both my thumbs look about the same because I squeegee with both hands almost equally.

I dont suffer from that but the fingers on my right hand feel hyperextended from time to time, I know its from holding that squeege and pushing hard.
