I, too, use latex gloves in the studio. But as a nurse practitioner, I can
warn you all to be careful. Latex allergies are becoming much too common.
My suggestions would include using ONLY powder-free gloves and first
covering any open sores or cuts with a bandaid before putting on the
gloves. Also, take them off if you realize your hands are perspiring.
Good luck and happy potting. Marge

Plus they can make your nails delaminate. I've taken to globbing on Vaseline
before i put on the gloves. I change them frequently so they don't get
sticky. My nails thank me.
