Wash your hands with soap before you go up. A lot of soap. Like a lot. ---

I have this spray stuff that is like spray on powder that dries up your hands instantly. Love it on hot humid days. ---

Yeah spray deodorant sorta works, but afterwords it makes your hands sticky. I suggest washing you hands and then letting them air dry after partially drying them via paper towel or some other thing like that. Also, babypowder works very well too but for washing your hands you dont really have to buy anything haha
