Hit 500 foils in one day last week

My book was packed back to back and I did 500 individual foils on three clients. My fingers were cramping by hour six but I pushed through. How many foils is your max before you tap out?

500 foils in one day? My max is about 50 before I start dropping foils and questioning my life choices. How do you keep your hands from completely giving up?

Hey @sandralee, have you tried using a wrist brace or compression gloves? I do small batches of crafts at home and my hands start cramping up after like 30 minutes. What helps me is taking a break every 10 foils to stretch out my fingers and shake my hands loose. Also making sure I grip the foil with my whole hand instead of just pinching it really cuts down on the fatigue.
