Thread: Invisible gloves...?

Tweet

Anyone ever try this stuff? I am sick of going to my suit and tie job with grimy hands... People are begining to talk

I found some lightweight gloves with a rubber coating on the fingers and palms that I really like. I don't remember the brand name, but I have seen similar ones at Wal Mart.

i use gloves from mechanics verry good stuff.

some different styles.

The blue nitril gloves work fairly good for a surgical glove on automotive.

Used to have some of the invisible glove stuff. Came in a spray can, spray it on your hands then after wards wash it off along with the oil and grease. Worked pretty well. Had a case some years ago, gave most away to friends who got a lot dirtier than me.

Don't know if the stuff is still on the market or not. Probably made from something toxic and yanked from the shelves just like all the good stuff.

I have also used it. In a tube that you apply to clean dry hands. Works good, when I remember it before I get dirty.

I keep a box of vinyl exam gloves in the shop at all times. They're cheap, just use them once and throw them away. I bought two boxes awhile back for like $12.00. When all else fails, wash your hands in lacquer thinner, then instantly some high powered hand cleaner with pumice.

What the heck does it matter, working men have to wash their hands BEFORE they go to the bathroom!!!!!!

Before????? I knew I was doing something wrong!....LOL

I always wondered how grease got down there...

Gusaroo...the DuPont Invisible Gloves that comes in the
white tube works well except for one thing...it is water
soluble. Therefore, if you are working on the engine and
the coolant gets on your hands, it tends to go away. When
you apply it, make sure you wipe it around your fingernails and
into your knuckles. It makes the grease come off easier.

However, as some of the previous answers say, a good
hand cleaner works too...both work well together.

at the shop, we use just cheapo powdered soap in a black box, works awsome. but when it fails, I go to the parts washer.

C'mon, be a man, wear your dirt with pride! AR-AR-ARRRRR!

Black finger nails and bloody knuckles is my manicure

Gloves are the first line of protection - any kind you find you like. I use various types, depending on the sort of work I am doing; cleaning parts with degreasing solutions or mineral solvents or working with greases or oils (like when packing bearings): blue nitrile; general "wrenching": Mecanix brand or similar; regular ol' leather gloves for yard work and other stuff like that. I never cared for the "gloveless" stuff - used it, and found that it wore out too quick; I'd go through a tube of it in a day. In addition to the gloves, good hand cleaner, either waterless, like "GoJo" or that ZEP, or powdered hand soap like "Boraxo", and a good medium soft bristle "hand and nail" brush - available at most general drug stores, or at a beauty supply. Find a good hand creme that you like and use it immediately after washing, while your hands are still damp, and rub 'til dry; I use some stuff called "Miracle Foot Repair", or "Miracle Hand Repair" is a bit more perfume smelling. For me, since I have had my hands in nasty stuff for over fifty years, I must be devoutly dedicated to the care of them, or they will quickly dry, crack, split, bleed, and turn to 80 grit roughness; sometimes, I can pick up a bath towel just by laying my hand on it and lifting - I don't even need to grasp it.
