It's just that I've tried a lot of different hand lotions because I work in a research lab where I must wear gloves and am constantly changing them and then washing my hands (over 20x day). My hands used to get severely chapped in the winter (before I started drumming again). Now that I'm drumming again, I've been very careful to keep my hands moisturized. I have yet to try a moisturizer called "Bag Balm", which is sold in farm/ag stores and is used to sooth the chapped teats of dairy cows. A girl I work with who grew up on a farm swears by the stuff (for her hands, I assume!)

This has been some great information on my original question, but I am not clear if we are talking about skins that are old and worn or if this applies to new skins. I just accquired a set of LP Performance Series Drums and a set of Generation II Bongos should I applying any sort of treatment to these new skins. Someone told be to apply baby oil to the skins but after hearing some of the info here I'm not sure I want to do that.
Thanks Again to All

I have seen a lot of users mention the Manteca and the 3 to 4 hours of sun drying time which now is impossible here in the new york area. I was told that baby oil that is not petroleum based would be good to use. Or should I just wait to the warm weather comes back if it ever does here. My congas are now about a month old but I am at them almost every day. If I do the Manteca what is the process involved. i.e. Melt down manteca, apply with a colth or not etc.
Thanks again
Otto
