Default gloves for lacquer thinner

You write should. You mean this is just a hunch?

I found this chart which has acetone listed:
http://www.aps.anl.gov/Safety_and_Tr...selection.html

Poly-ethylene is not listed. I don't know what gloves are made from it.

These are the ingredients and their rating:

Neoprene Natural Latex Butyl Nitrile
or Rubber Latex

Acetone G VG VG P
Ethyl Acetate G F G F
Methanol VG VG VG VG
Toluene F P P F

Now I see they also listed laquer thinners:
G F F P

Which has neoprene the best. Those Home Depot gloves recommened in a post
above on a search for chemical gloves are neoprene.
