Hi,

No problem, I didn't know that. Yes, I meant chemical resistant gloves (expensive) or very cheap gloves like latex.

Latex glove won't hold up in the presence of solvents or most petroleum based liquids. Nitrile gloves do, for the most part. Although carb cleaner will eat thru them almost instantly. You can buy a box of 100 Nitrile surgical gloves at Harbor Freight for about $7.00. Here's a link. http://www.harborfreight.com/catalogsea ... ile+gloves

You can get better ones at auto parts places like Advanced Auto. They cost more like $12 or $14 per 100, but one pair will last all day and are really hard to tear where the HF gloves are not as strong.

But if you are working in a parts washer and your hands will be submerged all the time, a good pair of industrial grade Nitrile or similar gloves is necessary

regards,
Rob

Hi,

I do agree, latax takes 15 minutes to half an hour before you have to change, but mostly that is just enough to clean what I have to clean. And indeed, industrial gloves I use for the heavy work, but are not very elastic,
