Wearing gloves

[DaveC]

Sally,

Howdy!

I have extremely sensitive skin and have to always wear protective gloves when coming in contact with chemicals. I even have sensitivity to the actual gloves themselves, so I have a little trick ....

You can go to a photographic supply store and buy some disposable cotton gloves very inexpensively. I put these on and then the nitriles and my hands stay warmer in the winter, sweat less in the summer and don't react to the gloves themselves.

Sallyu, didn't your parents give you the speech about using protection? Seriously, I was a slacker for about 2-3 weeks, didn't wear my gloves. I ended up with dried skin and 7 deep cuts down til they were raw. Put my self on a morning and evening regiment of bag balm, band-aids, and profuse amounts of hand lotion. My hands are almost healed now and I don't do repairs without gloves anymore. A painful lesson learned, hope you don't experience the same. Steve.

I don't wear the gloves either, but did flip some resin from a curing chip and landed it in my eye.
I'm a Class A CDL driver & have a class 1 medical from the FAA, also.
Freaked me OUT! I ran and rinsed it out for a few minutes, but didn't sustain any damage beyond this little twitch,..

You have a twitch in your eye. Win 1, are you sure that's not from the dollar store. Are you trying to get us to believe the resin bid it?

I have not needed to wear gloves yet. I use the acid-free resin. I do wear super duper high power reading glasses just to see up close so my eyes are protected from any splash. btw a magnifying glass is a real boost to my repairs, or the 3.75 power readers, ( $1.00 at you know where) I want to make sure the repair is completly filled in and this is the only way I can see that well that close.
