Latex is organic. If you're using a chemical that will attack the latex;
yes, latex is bad. Kind of like using a cotton glove to protect against
water. The glove has to be resistant/immune to what you're sticking them into.
The major gloves types are latex, nitrile and vinyl. There must be 100
websites with chemical/glove charts and they're probably in all the
catalogs as well (msc, mmc, direct safety, etc). Pick a proper glove for
what you're using/doing.
Some people here say they use the SA with their bare hands. So does my
father-in-law. I have kero in my parts washer and 10 gallons of SA waiting
for the change out.
