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,

Are latex ones OK with paints and white spirit?
