I find that simply washing my hands with soap and cold water helps for at least awhile.

You might want to try polished gut if you're not already using it. Or if you're using polished gut, the polish would be what's getting sticky, so try unpolished. You could try lubricating the string, or using oil or lotion to lubricate your fingers. Just thinking out loud, I suppose lubricating the entire string with some more-or-less moisture-impermeable would have the advantage of not having the string absorb material and therefore get denser in places where you finger frequently, which might create falseness. -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
