Bruce Poage Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I know some guys wear a thin, white glove when getting in to the finishing stages of a model. This keeps the finish free of oil and residue from glue, etc. I have seen these in catalogs. What are some suggestions and what can be found locally?

Harry P. Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 There are dozens of places to get them from.

Foxer Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I do have cotton gloves, but my wife is an RN so I have a box of latex exam gloves that work as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I do have cotton gloves, but my wife is an RN so I have a box of latex exam gloves that work as well. Latex gloves are killer! No really, they will kill me if I try and wear them! I use food handling type gloves when I paint and the white cotton gloves for handling painted bodies! Also wash my hands really good and often with dawn dish soap to take the excess oils off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much Dawn will damage your skin.......it will dry out, crack and peel.

David G. Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 As a funeral director, I have access to pall bearer gloves. We buy them by the case and, at funeral services, give them away like hotcakes. If you call a local funeral home and tell them what you want them for, they just may give you a couple of pairs.

crazyjim Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 If you do a nice SHINY paint job, wouldn't you be afraid of the body slipping out of your hands when wearing cotton gloves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, my gloves are vinyl, not latex. I know many people react to latex. Medical gloves are available in both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58 Impala Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I've tried a couple different sources, but I can't find any cotton gloves that fit (need XL size). They all seem to be for people with small hands. Is there somewhere that has different sizes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatRedmond Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 My local craft store has them in bundles of 10 pr. for $2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
