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? Some sites suggest that Blue Nitrile gives the same
"second skin" effect but are even more puncture resistant; has anyone
tried them?

I cast my vote for Safeskin Purple Nitrile gloves. The Rolls Royce of the
glove world. Just seem to fit better and have textured finger tips.
In reply to other messages, a lot of glove boxes nowadays have a table
showing penetration times for various solvents.
