"Tuff skin"

I've done no formal research on this but what I think happens is:....my foot is made up of bones, muscle, tendons, fatty tissue, ligaments, and skin....I've done what I can from the skin thru the inside...my skin pays the price for all on the outside ( the awful fitting football spikes )....Benzoin has huge molecules that fix to the skin and fill in the divoits in the skin folds...as the benzoin dried we stomped in a box of Zinc Oxide powder...the Zinc Oxide powder filled the smaller spots and provided a bit of powder lubricant.

Benzoin is " Tinctuire Of Benzoin " carried in an alcohol solution. So if you had the joy of Tincture of Benzion injected into a blister, you had the same result as having sticky brandy injected into the blister's inside. Next time, drink the brandy...saving a bit for inside of the blister.
