Polyethylene gloves?

[FourKingsThingsLLC]

I am curious if anyone has a recommendation for polyethylene gloves to use with CA finishes. I currently use the food service, very thin, polyethylene gloves that I found on Amazon. They work fine; however, I would like to use something a little thicker, and have not been able to find them through my internet and Amazon searches. That tells me that they either do not exist (unlikely) or I am searching for them using the wrong key words (likely). In the videos I have seen, people usually are using nitrile gloves, which CA sticks to, sometimes with a latex overglove. I would rather avoid that if I can find a polyethylene glove with a thickness more like the latex or nitrile verisons. If anyone has had luck or knows of a product that I should be searching for, I appreciate the recommendations. Thanks in advance.

The closest material to that that I have used (besides plastic baggies, nitrile gloves, etc,) is this stuff: https://www.michaels.com/5x7-foam-s...w5r6RAJNRFzFvrzgVv0aAsd2EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

However, I keep returning to paper towels (any brand). I think it is personal preference.

I use the HF nitrile gloves. I watch for a sale and buy three boxes at a time.

2 mil is the thickest mil I can find. That's probably due to their intended purpose being food service, being disposable, and recommended frequent changes.
A box cost is $2.74, and 3 boxes is just over $7.

Try at a medical supply house. P.

I have bought the nitrile gloves from Harbor Freight and Peachtree USA, I use to buy them in bulk from them when I went to the woodworking show that comes to town every year. I bought many things like this from them because we got good show prices before.

I buy the boxes of nitrile gloves from Sams Club. Bigger box, decent price.

I use these: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KE22LCO/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1.

They're a bit thicker and they fit better since they have some stretch to them.

Thanks all. Much appreciated.

As I am more comfortable doing CA finishes I started using latex finger cots, but just on the index that holds the paper towel with the CA. To me, it's much easier to put on and reuse than a glove (and pretty cheap too).

I just wrap a little blue tape around my finger. But I think since the poly gloves don't stretch they can't make them too thick.

I purchased these last night and hope to have in the next day ro so to try out this next week.

Thanks!

Thanks dthayer

Just wanted to give dthayer a shout out. Got the gloves that he recommended from Amazon. Turns out they are from the same company as the ones I already had, but they are a hybrid and are much thicker and more durable. Used them this weekend without issue. Much happier now. Thanks!
