does anybody experience problems after cleaning up minis in the newer, harder metal alloy?

i'm not sure if i'm sensitive to it, or if i'm pressing/gripping the minis harder (as its tougher to cut) because my fingertips are always sore after prepping minis.

they even hurt the next day too. this doesnt happen when i work with other minis.

it is a similar feeling to the way milliput clogs up your pores in the skin (when you mix it without gloves)

so is it the metal, or the release agent or something else?

I have not had a problem with it yet, but I try not to handle minis much before I wash them. I also put them in a vice whenever I can for any filing or cutting.
