I bought a gallon copper pitcher on eBay. It had been lacquered, and it was
tarnishing under the lacquer. The item is a bit big to boil off the
lacquer, plus I don't know what the baking soda will do to the tin lining.
So I figured I'd simply use lacquer thinner. There being a bit of area
needing to be cleaned I figured I'd stop at my Lowes and buy some gloves.
The problem is none of the gloves they sell are recommended for lacquer
thinner!

Back at home on the web I learn that laminate gloves are the only type for
lacquer thinner and that they can only be bought in packs of 10 gloves for
$46-100! All I need in one glove.

What are my options here for hand protection?
