Harbor Freight has 3-4 kind of gloves; latex, nitrile, vinyl & something else.
Which, if any, don't dissolve with PVC cement?
I don't know for sure, but I would bet on the Nitrile. I wear
them when handling various potentially nasty solvents. Of course, I
don't know what the "something else" might be, so all bets are off for
those. :-)
Get some of each, and suspend them by the cuffs while pouring a
bit of the solvent into each. Let them hang for a few hours, and come
back to see how they held up -- then perhaps try gripping each finger
with needle nose pliers and see if that causes a leak or tear.
I got my box of Nitrile gloves at a hamfest some years ago.
And Latex causes an allergic reaction in some people, which is
why the health care field has mostly gone to Nitrile.
Enjoy,
