Looking for a good mechanics glove

[1STMP]

Try castor oil on the affected skin.

Hadn't thought of that. I've
tried just about everytning
else.

 

[Hey-O]

Thanks, @Hey-O
The coating on those looks
to be what I need. I'd like
to get back into my other
hobby....

That's not a hobby, that's a talent!!! Very nice and well done!! I'm officially jealous!

 

[Hey-O]

Are they chemical resistant?

Thanks @Hey-O
Just placed an order for two
pair.
Should be able to use these
while buffing out some
trim pieces.

 

[1STMP]

Installed some trim.
Used the gloves @Hey-O
recommended to buff
before paint.
No change in the nail/skin
condition, but it's not any
worse, where there used
to be peeling/oozing.
I think, over time, these
may be just what is needed.
Thanks again!

Looking for a good
mechanics glove that
won't transfer metal
particles to direct
contact with the skin.
Turns out I'm highly
alergic to nickle silver.
Can't wear a belt where
the buckle comes into
contact with my belly,
as huge reactions
occur, even with a shirt
tuck.
I've set my silversmithing
hobby aside, as it's affecting
my hands, mostly.
Had some nickle silver
fillings....guess the result.
Damn, this sucks as it
results in a lasting
psoriasis effect.
Docs can only guess at
relief remmedies.
Any suggestion will be
welcome. I ain't ready to
just lay down as of yet.

Try Milwaukee or Makita gloves......or if you recently won the lottery powerball.....Snap-On.

I have found that latex
gloves work until first
contact with the grinding
wheels. The pair that
@Hey-O recommended
have come closest to
curbing this allergy to
date. Though the
condition still persists,
though not as severe.
Not going to chase a
Snap-On truck down the
street just to check out
their gloves....
I do so want to get back
to my other hobby.

Latex dust allergy was big news a few years ago.
That's why we see medical personnel in nitrile gloves now.
Back in the day we didn't know about chemical exposure really.
Exposure Limits and all that stuff.
I've got MSDS training ingrained in me now.
It makes me shake my head to see people on Road Kill, UT , etc. not using any hand protection.
Just drenched in used motor oil and fluids.
Guess that doesn't help on the glove issue.
Just stay away from latex is good advice.
Tell the kids and spread the news.

Starting out in my career over 50 years ago things were surely different. We made footwear, foot orthotics, partial foot prosthesis, footwear modifications etc.
Even made a few drop foot splints for dogs.
Five of us worked in the shop, 4 smokers including myself. No real ventilation. Common to work on some leather, put glue on it and light up a smoke. Friday late afternoon, we would clean our benches by pouring thinners on paper towel then clean the glue off with bare hands. Also used MEK, acetone etc. 1980 we moved to a new building, OHS checked and were going to shut us down if we didn’t set up a dedicated vacuum forming and grinding room. Main area got a new ventilation system , we could safely still glue at our benches. The building became smoke free. I quit smoking in 1980.
Is there a replacement for latex if one is trying to prevent certain diseases?

Oh man....for some reason cigs will mess me up but cigars didn't. Cigs had lots of other stuff in them and the better cigars do not? Anyways, he would pitch a hissy fit whenever I lit up a cigar but couldn't understand why I didn't like cigs so the fight went on and on until he killed himself (?) by not wearing a seat belt and rolling his pickup sliding off of a rain slick road. He got pitched out and then the pickup rolled on top of him. A few years later I quit smoking cigars but never really got all that much into them anyways.

I'm glad they work, if only somewhat. Being that they're breathable stretch nylon with a polyurethane coating on the palms, they're as close to no glove as far as being able to work with them on.

Eureka!
Found the problem. I'm highly allergic
to certain soaps.
The wife recently switched brands
and the nails have almost completely
recovered, and no more irritation along
the nail bed.

My first wife used Tide detergent which is ok unless it's double dosed or more which she did. My socks made my feet feel like they were burning and sweat like crazy!

Tide is one I react to. Along with Dial,
Lava and Ivory (the worst).

So we want more kids?

Depends on who's having them.

I get a form of dermatitis, almost like hives occasionally
on my chest, usually where the hair is
& on my back occasionally, especially sometime on my face under my beard (hair)
or sometimes "rarely" also on my thighs too (don't get it under my head hair ?)

'the dr' (they're just a people mechanic, diagnosed/guessed)
speculated from minerals
either in our water &/or laundry soaps &/or shampoo's

a lil' antihistamine, $32 a bottle for like 20 gel tabs
& it goes away over night usually,
the stuff I get under my beard seems to linger longer
it's not a prescription, was the dr's orders
they 're stumped

'the skin dr' guesses (real high $$$'s to guess) it's from the shampoo or bar soap,
(or the water)
I don't use shaving cream
& the soap I do use is Ivory, probably the least allergenic soap on the market
my laundry soap is also a ARM & HAMMER BRAND,
supposed to be a very low allergenic type too

I never ever got it before, I bought & later moved up here in Dec. 2005
we are on a private water springs/source, have our own water district,
for like 80-ish homes community, my neighbor said he sort of got something like it too...

when I get it, (rare now) I can't shower it spreads
screwed if I do or don't
but I can go swimming next door water from the same exact source,
& I don't get it

took like 5 years to figure it out completely, dr's are/were clueless pretty much
wanted to do a bunch of freaken' test, stupid sh*t

Then I was in CVS, & a lady at the pharmacy
told me just try & take an antihistamine, said; "it looked like hives to her"
& it worked, sometimes don't need to over think it

Using Dove hand/body soap now and Woolite w/no softener added for the
clothes.
My nails have grown back out in
perfect shape, with zero skin
irritation. Other areas like the back
of my head and forehead that the
docs diagnosed as psoriasis have
completely cleared up. (More than
hives as these were areas with thick
plaques of skin build up.)

yeah I get it,
I was just making a statement on similar situation
yours looks far worse than mine ever was

hope it clears up completely

at least it's not fromteh cars or metals

good luck
