See, even I can be wrong every now and then. I guess washing for health and safety, where I go the warm water, and lead are two different things. Interesting.
Interesting concept, I don't regularly roll around in lead dust, but sometimes do get a lot of range grime embedded.
I never remember to put on the gloves until my hands are filthy, either.
I think I'll give the abrasive version a try - it's on Amazon prime and not too terribly expensive.

We'll see if it works signifigantly better than the abrasive orange-clean I currently use.
why not use latex
Don't know if you have a latex allergy and don't want to find out the hard way?
Again, NO latex! Nitrile only. Latex will not protect you. Google "latex glove lawsuits".
I'm fairly certain it's a darn sight better than going barefoot . Guns are sharp/pointy, so whatever you use will be chewed up; the point is cheap, disposable gloves to keep the bulk of chemicals (lead and otherwise) off your skin. Nitrile is basically the same stuff (same chemical, different isomer/manufacturing process) and is only slightly better at not dissolving in acetone. Extended/strong acetone exposure will leave it as weak as a wet paper bag, and anything stronger will go right through it, though. I think it mainly doesn't tear quite as easily (a real problem after talc powder was removed from latex gloves for allergy/asbestos concerns). Who's cleaning their guns with Acetone and transmission fluid as a matter of course, though?Again, NO latex! Nitrile only. Latex will not protect you. Google "latex glove lawsuits".
And don't forget all that paint you ate as a kid!!After all the sinkers I have crimped on with my teeth, I may need some de-lead toothpaste.
I'm thinking of buying some of the D-lead wet or dry hand cleaner to put in my car. There's no running water anywhere I shoot and this might be worth the investment just to keep the lead grime off my steering wheel, clothes, etc.
D-Lead hand soap, made by Esca Tech Inc., Milwaukee.Find out the ingredients. Can you take a picture of the ingredient list and post? Almost all liquid soaps are based off of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
Is this the soap?

I can email them for the MSDS but I'm not seeing anything from a chemistry point of view (yet) that says "hey, this is different".

Water, Sodium laureth sulfate, Sodium linear alkyl sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl betaine, Sodium phosphonate, Sodium chloride, Cocamide DEA, Parachlorometaxylenol, Propylene glycol, Fragrance, D7C Red #27.
Thanks for assessing that list Chief.
Is it possible that combining 3 surfactants and 1 emulsifier enhances the lifting and cleansing action?
