Knotty you are very lucky you have nothing to write home about!
It's not always as extreme as that, but not much fun regardless.. I guess anything that you do for hours and hours is bound to take its toll! All worth it in the end though!

I guess it all depends how many strands you are doing, and perhaps how you string?? Who knows.. I wonder what the women in Asia would have to say about this..?

Please tell me what areas of your hand you are applying tape to.

I put the tape on my index finger near the top of my finger.. but only a small piece otherwise it will make it more difficult to knot with.. To be honest most of the time I don't need the tape, but at really busy times of the year it comes in handy.

Ahhhh. Perhaps the reason I don't experience that is I have nails and I do use them just as I would any other tool. They are doing their job -- protecting my fingers.
