Stopping sweaty hands

[mollykins]

What's they best thing to put on my hand to stop them getting sweaty when I do ceremonial rifle practice on saturday which will be for about 5 hours!

Chalk is out of the question, would antipersperant help, or is there something else?

[redman41]

Are the Rifles loaded molly........bit dodgy if they are

[anneasquith]

talc?

[ummmm]

Why is chalk out of the question?

[ChuckFickens]

yes an antiperspirant would help, make sure it is an anti-antiperspirant and not just a deodorant though.

[ChuckFickens]

anti-antiperspirant ???? What The Funicular!!

[mollykins]

Redman it's ceremonial stuff like presenting arms and stuff.

Chalk or any other powder, I should have said are out of the question.

Doc, it needs to be something i can do/wear when we do it for real for trafalgar day, and we can't wear gloves for that.

[mollykins]

Umm because it needs to be something i can wear for the proper parade, and chalk or talc etc would go on my uniform, and although it would come out, I can't be brushing it off as we're marching along

[mollykins]

Doc that won't work when it comes to trafalgar day.

That's why I could only think of anti-persperant. it needs to be a liquid or a spray of some kind . . . . something that won't stain my uniform if i touch it.

[anneasquith]

keep a small towel in your pocket, and wipe your hands at regular intervals

[Mamyalynne]

No!!

[ummmm]

I would go with what annie says.

[mollykins]

Doc, but I can't, during the drill competition last year, when I had a rifle (but a different kind) I practically dropped it. Luckily it was during a movement where you kind of have pass it to your otherhand, which I managed to pull off. But these are heavier so my hands are going to sweat even more, and during this parade you're carrying the rifles for longer than i did in the competition.

[mollykins]

Spit, they have cement in the barrel, so they can't be shot.

[ummmm]

Just wipe them on your trousers...
