Disposable gloves

[Hitch]

Vinyl, latex.... they tend to disolve if handling a lot of thnner, during prep work/cleaning up.

Are there some that dont dissolve, or at least as quick!?

Nitrile gloves seem OK with most solvents Hitch.

Marigolds last a lot longer than normal surgical type vinyl/latex gloves.
You look a bit of a prat wearing them - just avoid the ones with furry cuffs.

I tried some marigold looking affairs Friday (PPE supplier reckoned they wouldnt melt), lasted about 30 mins, but they were quite thick, and hard work to wear....

These nitrile ones, they nice and thin....?

Buna-N (Nitrile) gloves seem resistant to most solvents (inc. acetone)......although not really thin like the 'disposables' they do a grand job of keeping the solvent away from your skin.

I've used the nitrile ones, much better than the normal medical gloves, in terms of resistance to oils, solvents etc.

The ones I had were as issued to the guys who work at Ford's Halewood plant, so they can't be that bad.

We use nitrile at work, certainly don't rip as easily as the latex type

Little tip, when using the blue nitrile gloves on heavy jobs, like car work, wear 2 on each hand, they seem to last longer before tearing.

I use nitrile but just ebay ones, someone on here said proper mech's ones are better.
Can fall apart when cleaning the gun, gunwash eats them though are loads better than latex for that.
They come powered or unpowered too, powder seems to make my hands itch but then i'm prone to eczema (spelling may not be right).

Does anyone have problems with trying to get the ******s to fit? I am only ever able to get hold of large size gloves and take XXL motorbike gloves. I ask my suppliers and no one ever seems to be able to get hold of them...
