Like said above, a glove would be ideal. But also, keep your hands really clean, and maybe keep a towel handy to wipe your hands every so often. Or maybe even try yoyo under or in front of a fan so your hands can stay aired out/fresh. Hope this helps. :wink: ---

Or you could wash your hands with harsher soaps or do some cleaning. The solvents make it so your hands don’t sweat. I barely sweat from my hands anymore because I wash my hands so much at work ---

> [@Yoyo](#): > > Would the powder get on the string? no if you only use a little and clap or rub your hands together before you use it you should be fine because all the excess would be off. ---

Deodorant that supposed to keep your armpits dry works very well.
