Subject: Gloves
Handling artifacts undergoing chemical treatment can be a real problem particularly when it comes to protective hand wear. Personal protection has to be the principal priority but the security of the item undergoing treatment can be a real problem if one is unable to get a secure and balanced hold. Many protective gloves which offer great personal protection are just too thick to allow any degree of good feeling. Recent developments have led to a number of important changes for the conservator, one can now get powder-free gloves and a new style skin tight (surgical-like) but ultra-strong Nitrile glove has been launched. We have samples of these new gloves and will be pleased to forward freely to anyone interested. Mark G.
