I don't seem to have a big problem with handling small parts with nitrile gloves on. But, I tend to buy them in a size that fits fairly tight on my hands. I think some buy a size that fits comfortably and sometimes that means wrinkles and flaps that totally destroy the tactile feel that snug fitting gloves provide.For some things I can’t wear gloves, like assembling a fully stripped gun, but when the solvents are needed the gloves go on.
I never knew that. Good advice!Many gloves will say “6 mil” but that measurement is is the fingers and the palms may be much thinner.
Use HARDY™ 7mil thickness Nitrile Disposable Gloves. "Textured Finger Tips", "Powder Free", "Superior Protection". They're very tactile, yet tough. If you're careful not to tear them, each glove can be re-used many times. Just wash your gloved hands with soap and water, remove your gloves and reverse. Allow to dry. Item 68506 at Harbor Freight.I need to purchase some disposable gloves for cleaning my firearms.
Does anyone use disposable gloves when cleaning your firearms? If so, do you use nitrile or vinyl gloves and what thickness. 4mil seems to be a very common thickness.
is there a glove type resistant to acetone?
Ditto. A box of HD gloves are always in the basement work shop, but since 99% of my gun cleaning is cap revolvers using Dawn dish soap and Ballistol I don’t use gloves.I use the blue nitrile ones from Home Depot when using petroleum solvents. When I use only Ballistol, I usually skip the gloves.
