I'm wondering what - if anything - people do to protect their hands while
working on their cars. Besides the obvious skinned knuckles, the fluids in
our cars can be pretty tough on skin. I'm draining the gas tank of my car
in preparation for pulling the body. Some gas splashed on my hands.
Besides the lingering foul smell ("You're not sleeping in my bed tonight!"),
gas is awfully tough on your skin.
I've been thinking about using some sort of gloves. Leather or other thick
gloves would be too clumsy for much of the work, plus they'd hold solvents
like gasoline. Surgical gloves seem like they wouldn't dull your tactile
sense too much (after all, surgeons use 'em). I've put off trying them
figuring they couldn't be very resitant to the various solvents they'd
encounter.
Any thoughts on this subject?
