I recently decided to give Latex gloves a go when tiling, grouting,
silicone'ing and general jobs around the garage - I'm totally converted!
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? Some sites suggest that Blue Nitrile gives the same
"second skin" effect but are even more puncture resistant; has anyone
tried them?

Moved there years ago. Best ones I have tried were from Mac tools at 10
quid a box of 100. generally though I use some from a local bloke to me at
3 pounds a box. You need to try several makes as they vary vastly. Latex
can be reused, if not holed, I have a spare empty box with a bit of talc in,
when I take a glove off it goes in the box and is then reusable when it has
dried out. I don't like the nitrile ones personally, although they are
stronger and essential for some solvents,
