    Ones of the causes of cracking fingertips besides the daily abuse
    they take in our work - is dehydration. 

    I know I rarely drink enough water - coffee and sodas don't count
    they actually will dehydrate. Last year I had deep bleeding cracks in
    both thumbs - kinda hard to work that way. 

    I think what helped the most was making sure I drank several more
    glasses of water a day. Can't hurt anyway - but don't just leave a
    glass of water sitting around to receive all the dust and dirt of the
    shop and then drink that. 

Just a thought.
