Do any of you wear disposable (or other type) gloves while cleaning your guns? I do not but am thinking of starting to. If you wear them what kind do you wear (exam, industrial, etc.) and wear can they be purchased?
It is to keep you from absorbing oils and solvents into your skin, or at least, thats why I do it.Been ponderin' the reason for wearing gloves for gun cleaning. There is nothing in your skin to hurt the gun's finish, especially if you give it a good coat of oil before storing it away.

contact of the solvent with a larger skin area is likely to be proportionally equivalent to more absorption which, theoretically, would exceed the absorption of the vapour through the lungs and therefore, increasing the overall exposure of the individual to MEK.
It has been recognised (for example, Morris, 1999) that occupational solvents can give rise to neuropathy and impaired cognitive functioning that may be usefully assessed by the neuropsychological assessment.
