Exam Gloves

I was planning to buy a case of disposable gloves for airbrushing. It seems like a cheap way of keeping overspray off my skin.

I wash my hands with Windex before starting.

I've been using nitrile gloves lately for spraying and when handling nasty solvents.

I tried them a couple times for gluing, ended up with same conclusion as Bill, couldn't feel anything, didn't work.

I've tried tight-fitting surgical gloves too. Better, but still don't like the lack of 'feel'. Wonder how long it takes surgeons to get used to them? They so some fairly delicate work, too. :)

I wash in soap and water when I start a kit but there after I use the alcohol because it drys faster than water and then its ready to paint. You can even speed dry it with the airbrush.

    For painting prep I generally follow the manufacturer's recommendation of washing the pieces in warm soapy water and allowing them to dry.

you cant feel anything when you have them on. Holding a model during painting is one thing, gluing small parts would be a problem. I always clean the model with alcohol before painting anyway.
