For All Pagh Tiers

[jasraj93]

Quick question. After tying paghs at Bhangra Masti. My nails and the skin around it began to hurt, im not sure if its because there was too much mava on the paghs or that way I tucked the turla. Any tiers not on how to avoid that?

wear gloves

paggs that are overstarched tend to hurt

but tieing alot of paggs in general hurt lol

I experienced the same once...however it happened to me after starching the turle and therefore I think the maava got underneath my fingernails and dried there for some time...however there could have been some other reason that I don't know about.

Moral of the story: Don't let maava dry on under your nails/around your fingertips...use warm water and ample amounts of soap when washing your hands after starching...and, if I'm not mistaken (and there's a good chance that I am), starch and water is a perfect environment for bacteria to grow, so allowing starch to hide underneath your nails will help bacteria grow and therefore might lead to pain in those areas...like I said before, this is somewhat speculation, so please feel free to correct me...

I agree with Dr. Rajkaran... all that chemical stuff should never be left on your skin.Maybe you can try using gloves for the turla or get more people in your team to learn how to tie 'em up.

Vics hands were cut up after he tied 40 something paggs at bayside. I think its just what happens after a while.

you can't avoid it at all . . . get used to it ;]

i totally agree with this. when u are doing the turla part, ur finger is going to hurt after tieing 4-5 paghs.
so u just gotta get used to it, or maybe get some help from other team members for tieing paghs.

my nail got pulled back at Bhangra Masti

 

[Yankee Saini]

My "gootha" was NUMB for about a week after tying 10+ Paggs.lol but now that I'm used to it, there's no need to worry about "nail being pulled back or a NUMB gootha(lol), etc."

yeah man i tied a bunch one time for teams at virsa 2 years ago and my thumb, index finger, and middle finger were all soooooo freakin sore.



only way to avoid it is to teach someone else how to tie em.
