    Hello Jay, 	There was an extensive thread on glove use some time ago.
     Many voices saying gloves were a safety issue.  I'm a guilty party
    to using the tightly fitted latex gloves.  I've not had any safety
    problems... not advocating anything here, gang - just my personal
    experience.  The latex gloves don't take heat well, so if I'm going
    to  be polishing for a while, I use the "alligator skin" tape.  It's
    not quite as clean, but works better for handling hot metal. 	Again,
    just my personal experience.  Judy in Kansas I am not sure what kind
    of gloves were mentioned, but I have latex gloves, powderless, from
    the drugstore and use those now. I usually break them stopping a
    spindle from impatience, but I have not had any accident problems
    with them. They are too fragile not to break if caught. It keeps the
    worst off. Anyone else out there doing this? Any safety issues I may
    be ignoring? Judy M. Willingham, R.S. Biological and Agricultural
