I purchased a box of the vinyl (non-latex) painter’s gloves for protecting my hands while using lacquer thinner and acetone.  However I discovered yesterday that these gloves are not impervious to these chemicals, because I was using them with acetone to clean off some parts, and I had a small cut on my finger.  I felt the sting of the chemical in the cut, and realized that it was getting past the gloves.  I like these thin, latex-like gloves as they are easy to work with.  What type of gloves should I be using to insure protection?    

Thanks,

Hi Dave,



 I like the latex examination gloves for general light duty work.  For heavier work, kitchen style rubber gloves work well.  For really heavy duty and really rotten chemical work, Neoprene gloves work best.  



 If you want a general purpose use glove, I would recommend kitchen style rubber gloves.

Dave,

I found Acetone is good for working in fiberglass resins etc, but prefer 

to use MEK for cleaning small parts as it too is a solvent.

I've bought thick "solvent gloves" and they didn't do the job either. I 

just try to minimize my contact with the stuff. Use a brush

and or scotchbrite pads to apply them. Don't forget the respirator mask 

as you can do more harm than absorbing the stuff.
