Ugh, yeah, I only did one small collection and there was a period of about two months last year where my hands were just constantly wrecked. Papercuts, hardcore dryness, edges of my fingers splitting, cuticles getting shoved everywhere . . . Okay, fine, some of that still happens, but not as badly! The smaller bandaids can be good for a little while, you just have to remember to change them or dry them really if you get your hands wet. But they do kind of get in the way. I love liquid bandage stuff. It looks like you've gotten superglue or clear nailpolish on you. Definitely seconding the special knuckle and fingertip bandaids, which might not be great for your fingers but might be knuckle useful.

You might want to ask what sort of gloves they'd let you wear around the collections? Frankly, gloves are a pain in the ass anyway, but they might be good just for when you're reaching in.
