I recently decided to give Latex gloves a go when tiling, grouting,

They really do make life easier and are more robust than I expected.
Presumably I'm not the first convert, where do you buy them from at a
sensible price?
I use them all the time when repairing bikes or fiddling with diesel
gennies, it's a lot easier than getting the oil off afterwards. I also
have a pair with me when cycling in case of roadside repairs.
I got a box of 100 (50 pairs) from Screwfix, not sure if it was a good
price compared to elsewhere---currently £5.49.
A tip for winter working is to use a cheap pair of thermal liner gloves
underneath the latex. This can also stop the clamminess as well as
keeping your hands warm.
