I got blisters on my fingers!
...like the man says.
After shredding my callous on my left ring finger during an illadvised, post washing-up noodle, I'm starting from scratch again and I've got a blister on the fingertip.
What's the collective wisdom on this?
Lance it with a sterile needle and squeeze the juice out?
first use marigolds, it keeps those tips hard as long as you do the washing up quick and dont start sweating in the rubbery fingertips. not that i do that ever as im a rock star and like keef, would need anything like that cos im hard!
i would pop it, then super glue it up (yes really) but i have been known to be mad so maybe im not the best for advice. i used to let superglue dry on my fingertips all the time when i first started playing.
me? id wait for other suggestions before you go anywhere near mine! hope you get it sorted. atb gu
Get a wife/girlfriend. Washing up will then no longer be an issue and you can shred to your heart's content.

OK it's popped.
It was doing my head in.
Lots of watery stuff has come out.
yes, thats right, what was i thinking?
Washing up causes your callouses to fall off? Ok seriously, WTF do you wash up with? Sulfuric acid??!? Can't say it's a problem I've ever had.

It's just like playing after a shower - it's best not to play while your callouses are still a bit water logged, or you just shred them up.
...and as for the domestic arrangements, it's actually very rare that I wash up because 99% of the time, I cook the meal and my fiance washes up.
