Gloves?

Baby sealskin makes great gloves.  Available at the local fishery...

But seriously, I use the disposable gloves from Home Depot.

I don't use any, don't see the point. I just keep my hands washed, never see a print in the flattest of paint or primer. Ofcourse unless I SEE oil I don't wash my sprues, wear masks or safety glasses, or filter the air that enters my home either. I do, however, have a home made spray booth to vent spray to the outdoors. Not so much for health reasons but because I don't want over spray settling on my other finished kits and belongings in the house.

Gloves make my hands sweat and I HATE sweaty hands.

I should use em but  i never really bothered getting em out of pure unforgivable lazyness.... I tend to be very creative finding ways to hold a model while spraying...

I'm curious what types of gloves you folks use for modeling and painting, mostly with acrylics? Also, where you get them? Thanks

 

 

We're supposed to use gloves?

It's called soap, amazing stuff, washes off all sorts of things, including acrylic paint :)

If the stuff was actually dangerous, I wouldn't use it.

Gloves keep finger oils off of the model for one which is the best reason to use them. Don't believe the "acrylic is not bad for you" argument because it is not true. I am talking about inhalation not getting it on your hands.

I use nitral gloves from Harbour Freight

I only use cotton gloves when handling a model  that has been painted with metalizers. For the rest, hands and fingers free of dirt/oil and there is a Purell bottle on my workbench all the time.

But yes theyre cheap and only help eliminate greasy yucky fingerprint boo boo's

I just use the disposable plastic gloves from home depot or lowes.100 in a box,non powdered

My paint get airbrushed onto the model, no need for gloves. And, I spray as close to my face as possible......love the scent of MM enamels!

I use the disposable medical gloves. Luckily i have to able to get my hands on a large stash of them through work.

Most of the time I will use the disposable gloves like the ones used by food servers.  The pack is cheaper and are easy to re-use.  From time to time I will use the latex kind.
