Quote:Originally Posted by CFP_Comics Interesting...  You are a professional when it comes to this stuff, so it seems there is a difference between the communities usage of gloves and yourself. Do you think CBCS also uses gloves during their pressing/grading services? Now I imagine there is also a preference factor in play as some people may have never tried gloves before and always just use their bare hands, where some have tried gloves without success due to the dulling of sensitivity. |

| @CFP_Comics Do you use gloves no matter the situation? or only for high grade comics? and maybe only for professional practices? Like if you are looking at a modern comic that was printed 2 years ago, just bare hands I assume? I'm just curious as to whether the comic book material/condition/age is a factor in whether or not you put them on. How come Vinyl and Latex? Have you tried other kinds before landing on these two? |

| Wash. Dawn is perfect for this. Wash as often as you handle them. Clean hands will work just fine. Any type of material over your hands causes you to lose sensation, and can lead to unintended damage. | ||

| With the invention of Nitrile I'm surprised that latex is even still in use. Latex can be a serious danger for some people. | ||

Older books that have not been dry cleaned, as long as yoir hands are thorpighly washed and the room tempetature is cold (a muggy, hot room will cause sweat glands to kick in, doesnt take much gor yoir hands to leave fingerprints, there is isually no need for gloves. With modern age books, the paper stock is fresh and depending on its' texture, it acts as a fingerprint and inl smudge magnet, in varying degrees. Whenever I am prepping my books for grading, I wear gloves. |
