This might be a good
thread to bring up a problem I have wrt using gloves:
I have rather small hands, and generally normal one-size latex/nitrile/vinyl gloves are not usable for me for anything that requires precision, or really anything at all.
I have a box of size M blue vinyl gloves that my SO got me many years ago after I had complained about the crappy gloves included in hair colouring kits. These are usable for me when it comes to hair colouring, and things like polishing silver or such.
But these are totally impossible for mixing liquids - the precision is just not there, and I end up spilling things and knocking things over.
So far I've only worked with 36mg/ml nic, so I just forego gloves completely ATM.
But I would very much like to find some affordable gloves that really fit. The obvious place to start would of course be size S, but I have some not-so-good experiences of more expensive household gloves in size S, both the thin vinyl/latex/nitrile kind, and the more sturdy molded and lined rubber-type variety.
(There must be something odd about the shape of my hands or something, usually in size M most fingers are too long, but in a size S often at least some fingers are too short. Frustrating! Even though I live in a cold climate I tend to use mostly unlined or very thinly lined leather gloves, as those adapt to my hands and then fit perfectly.)
Anyone here with lots of experience and deep understanding of safety gloves for precision work?
Which material is best for someone who has trouble getting a good fit? Latex?
Any tips or tricks for getting better precision/feel/accuracy when working with gloved hands?
Anyone know what surgeons use? That type of glove MUST allow for maximum precision and accuracy one would think.
Is there a brand or type of re-usable gloves that is even worth looking into? Having burnt probably close to 50 bucks on trying to find something like this a few years ago, I am quite weary of it, but willing to take another look.
