I’m curious what types of gloves you folks use for modeling and painting, mostly with acrylics? Also, where you get them? Thanks
I just use the disposable plastic gloves from home depot or lowes.100 in a box,non powdered
[dto:] even have them at the supermarket…
Most of the time I will use the disposable gloves like the ones used by food servers. The pack is cheaper and are easy to re-use. From time to time I will use the latex kind.
I use the disposable medical gloves. Luckily i have to able to get my hands on a large stash of them through work.
Surgical gloves that I get at my neighborhood Methadone Clinic…
fine cat-skin are always good
My paint get airbrushed onto the model, no need for gloves. And, I spray as close to my face as possible…love the scent of MM enamels!

I’ve used both surgical and cotton (using cotton can leave some fuzz occasionally)

I use the disposable gloves from work.
We’re supposed to use gloves?
It’s called soap, amazing stuff, washes off all sorts of things, including acrylic paint 
If the stuff was actually dangerous, I wouldn’t use it.
I should use em but i never really bothered getting em out of pure unforgivable lazyness… I tend to be very creative finding ways to hold a model while spraying…
But yes theyre cheap and only help eliminate greasy yucky fingerprint boo boo’s

I only use cotton gloves when handling a model that has been painted with metalizers. For the rest, hands and fingers free of dirt/oil and there is a Purell bottle on my workbench all the time.

Gloves keep finger oils off of the model for one which is the best reason to use them. Don’t believe the “acrylic is not bad for you” argument because it is not true. I am talking about inhalation not getting it on your hands. [;)]
