One interesting thing about natural latex gloves is how porous they
are to some solvents. Using acetopne with latex gloves is like no gloves
at all. Of course a lot of things that people think are latex are
actually vinyl, neoprene, etc. The vinyl gloves Pamela suggests offer
good solvent protection, as do Nitrile gloves. I've been having a bit of
trouble using nitrile gloves around brake fluid. A little brake fluid on
the nitrile gloves and they become so slippery it's a joke. So lately
it's been bare hands and a jumbo jug of gritty orange hand cleaner.
My wife saw the post about the stubborn Liquid wrench stench and
noted that "It's penetrating oil, it penetrates skin too" Sounds
reasonable.
