Re: Do you wear gloves when cleaning your guns?

Yes, for many yrs for most of the reasons already stated. I learned a few decades ago that I was living longer than expected & decided to
take better care of my skin (It is the largest organ of the human body).

After cleaning my pistols 2 weeks ago, my excema on the sides of my hands near the small finger joints flared up, leaving itchy cracks on my hands. For those of you who live with this issue, you know sometimes it takes days for it to get better. I use a prescription ointment to treat my itchy spots when my hands dry out. I definitely think gun solvents caused that flare-up, so I will wear some of my blue Nitrile gloves I bought at Sam's for dirty jobs every time I clean my pistols. Great idea! Thanks, guys, for bringing this issue to my attention.
SIGFan43, after putting the ointment on your hands put on a pr of gloves for as long as you can take it. The increased moisture has
helped w absorbtion for me & shortens recovery time. This even works for dry hands & plain lotion.
