I use latex glove - sure you get holes - they dissolve in diesel - your hands get sweaty BUT they keep your hands clean they can be changed quickly - they don't cost much - like under 9c each. But there are gloves and there are gloves - the cheap Ansell ones at Bunnys are just that - cheap and hole very easily - I use a surgical glove - a bit more robust - you can evey dry them out and use again but next time round they can be a bit more fragile and don't last as well.

i like gardening gloves and the cheap leather ones are good too
but you lose some mobility in the hands.
still, you dont get skinned knuckles.

After watching "monster garage" I see a lot of them use a tight neoprene or leather (not sure what material really) glove a lot , I'd just be concerned about the gloves getting grease and then grit ground into them that would eventually find it's way into the paintwork :( That's why I prefer bare hands (plus I have fairly big hands and they are a tight fit at the best of times) and a handy rag to wipe as I go .

Just get them clean enough to get by with and then be a gentleman and do the dishes for the missus that night. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone, clean hands and get in the good books.
Not sure on the health and safety side or if residue left on dishes, can't be worse than pig fat.

in my work as a plumber my hands are pretty dirt by then end of the day and normally dnt smell too great so i use a pumice liquid soap with citrus in it once you start using it everyday though your hands end up like sand paper though
they sell it at plumbing suppliers or you can get stuff called d lead no pumice but itll get anything off no effort needed
if anyones every used feroprene before its that 2 part putty u mix together that goes hard like steel itll even get that off your hands

cheers bob

Kresto Stokolan is a very good hand cleaner but it is expensive.

Cheers

Oh dear, you only ever make that mistake once don't you!! I think my hands were spotty black for about a week!! Best to use the thicker painting gloves for Por15 too as the thin ansell ones don't work as I found out :(
