I'm willing to try it though. I guess if your just reusing the wax you wouldn't have to constantly buy more, so price wise it would be a good way to go? I could just imagine a guitar players hands with this condition... makes me shudder.

I had a carpal tunnel scan and it came back negative. I had blood work done recently to check other conditions but it all checks out fine. I will probably make an appt to see a doctor at a specialized clinic instead of going through my normal doctor.
My friend has a unit that sort of looks like a deep fat fryer , but the temps are set so low that you can stick your hand in the hot wax, different waxes might have lower melting points, and I think he washes his hands with real cold water first ,so that the first coat doesn't hurt so much. I'll bet you could get more info either at a health food store OR just Google it. Good luck
