Which gloves for finishing.
I currently use latex gloves picked up from Bunnys for finishing. These have worked well so far with the oil finishes that I normally use. Recently I used them with a varnish and they started melting after a few minutes. What are others using.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

I use a box of disposable latex gloves. Box of 100 costs about as much as a pair of thick rubber gloves, and I don't lose my sense of touch.
So far, they haven't melted.

Have you tried nitrile gloves? They are supposed to be more resistant to different solvents.

Ron, not sure if Nitrile are available over here. There are three different brand availble where I get mine, but no way of telling if all have the same problem.

A quick Australian Based Google reveals several links to Aussie Companies with Nitrile gloves so it's just a matter of finding a stockist in your area.
Ambos and St. John workers wear them so they must be around.Cheers

I'll be interested to see where this goes.
SWMBO is in the process of applying Danish Oil and 20% stain to my (our) latest project and asked me to get her some gloves. So, down to Mitre 10 and grabbed a box of 100 Ansell Latex.
Well, they lasted all of 3 minutes.
I've put a call into the Ansell 1800 Customer "care" number and got a recorded message, so I won't hold my breath there.
By way of explanation, I don't have the patience for finishing. I don't mind the building but that's where it ends, so we have an arrangement

Some of the disposable gloves for food the industry are made from vinyl. These last better than latex but they still fall apart after a while when using spirit stains (the only time I need to use gloves, besides epoxy).

"Tough task" nitrile gloves from Woolies in the cleaning section.

I'll display my ignorance here and say that when Ron mentioned nitrile gloves, I thought it was a brand. Following DJ's response I did a search and found that it is a material. I also found that there is quite a range of different gloves for different uses, and that some are quite expensive. I also found that the military use nitrile gloves where solvents are involved. So this sounds as though it would stand up to a range of finishes. I believe that the disposable, bend over this won't hurt, type should do. Just have to find an outlet - maybe a chemist?

I use both vinyl and nitrile, which I used to purchase from a cleaning company in Glenferrie Rd in Hawthorn, Melbourne. They're fairly widely used in all manner of industries.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
