Sorry I don't have the string in BB front of me concerning what i read last nightconcerning skin reaction to latex gloves and/or the powder they are packed in. Correct me if I'm wrong, but switching to rubber gloves seems the way to go. Rubber gloves of the type sold in the "household/cleaning section" of K-Mart/Walmart/Publix/Safeway/Piggly-Wiggly/Home Depot/etc..... I understand why medical personnel can't change. But diy homegrown boat builders? I'm still researching which (1st time) boat I'm going to start on next month. I'm either the brightest guy in the world by suggesting "rubber gloves" or I'm too dumb to start on a boat considering the chemistry involved. (The latter is probably true.) Why? You guys call it. Thanks Ed
