Wire cuts. File burns. Polishing compound. Torch heat. Every day at the bench takes a toll on your hands. Small injuries accumulate into chronic damage.
Gloves kill the fine motor control jewelry work requires. Band-aids don't survive bench work. Adhesive tape leaves residue that can transfer to metal or gemstones. Most jewelers work bare-handed and accept the damage.
You need protection thin enough for detail work, clean enough for precious materials, and tough enough to survive professional bench time.
Guard-Tex is thin enough for prong setting, wire wrapping, and detail work. Two layers provide protection while maintaining the sensitivity your work demands.
No adhesive means nothing transfers to gemstones, metal, or findings. Your work stays pristine. Handle pearls, opals, and porous stones without worry.
Wire cuts and file burns can be wrapped to continue working. Guard-Tex doesn't stick to wounds — wrap over injuries and keep working.
Latex gloves kill dexterity. Finger cots slip off during work. Band-aids don't survive. Athletic tape leaves residue that can contaminate materials. Guard-Tex provides protection without compromising work quality.
Focus on fingertips that contact wire, files, and abrasives. Index fingers and thumbs usually take the most abuse. Two layers provides protection while maintaining feel.
During polishing, wrap knuckles and the backs of fingers. Polishing compound heat and buff friction can burn these areas. Wrap before you start.
At the end of the day, unwrap. Nothing left on your hands, nothing to transfer to tomorrow's work. Fresh wrap each day maintains cleanliness.
No. Guard-Tex has zero adhesive and leaves zero residue. It's safe for handling all gemstones, including porous materials like pearls, opals, and turquoise.
Yes. Most jewelers use two-layer wraps that maintain sensitivity for prong setting and detail work. For very fine work, single layers still provide protection.
It provides a barrier layer but is not rated for direct heat. Use proper heat protection for torch work. Guard-Tex helps with incidental heat from recently-soldered pieces.
