gloves for parts washer
Just curious what some of you guys use for hand protection in a parts washer. Have tried nitrile and other throwaway gloves, but they always leak after being exposed to parts cleaning solvent for a period of time. Have a pair of old non throwaway gloves, but they are too bulky and stiff for small parts. Something like the old Playtex living gloves but resistant to parts cleaning solvent? Thanks, Ron.

Trick I learned a long time ago using the rental parts washers was to put some atf in the fluid every time they changed the fluid. One quart seemed to make a huge difference in how bad the fluid hurts your skin.

Re: gloves for parts washer
An even better idea is to get rid of the harsh cleaners completely... http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Ca...SW8_0006396682
Simple Green is available in several grades and is an excellent replacement as well as being cheaper.

Re: gloves for parts washer
Sol-Vex gloves are great, and last forever. Get them at MSC/JL, or cleaning supply companies.

Re: gloves for parts washer
In my case , I don't see adding ATF to the mix from the start, when I'm going to get plenty in there anyway...to the point where the stuff won't air dry on my parts anymore.
But, to each, his own.

Re: gloves for parts washer
Can't stress enough to the younger fellows...the older folks should know by now. If you are determined to use the caustic solutions you had better be wearing protection...anything that touches the skin is absorbed directly into the body and will take it's toll on you down the road. Good enough reason to swap to less hazardous solutions. Be safe and live to race in your twilight years.

Re: gloves for parts washer
The only problem I have had withe Sol-Vex gloves is they don't fit skin tight for small parts.
