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.

I don't have any but my son likes the Milwaukee and Snap on brand of M gloves.
 
A friend of mine gave me some that are called Grease Monkey and I thought that they were just another cheap glove that wouldn't last long but they surprised me. They are great for general purpose gloves....but, they may not be what you are after since they have a cloth type material on top and a flexible rubber/plastic on the bottom. Think I would try the latex gloves under whatever glove you like to use. I use them that way too at times but really don't like the latex ones since they are somewhat hard to put on and make my hands sweaty.
 
This is all I wear for everything I do. Like a second set of skin. I have dozens of these all over the house, shop, and garage. I don't have to go 15 feet to find a pair.

I'm the same way....gloves all over the shop! Problem is sometimes they blend in with other stuff so I try to keep at least some pairs in a central location. Same way with my keys and cell phone, bill fold etc. I can't stand stuff to be in my pockets when I'm working and for sure no bill fold or cell in any pocket especially a back pocket.
 
I use Mechanic/impact work type gloves from the local Ace. I have learned though, since I ruined several, not to wear them when I'm grinding due to positioning many times it comes back on the hand. For grinding I use thin Tillman TIG gloves. For my actual TIG welding I use some special gloves I get from Lazze that he imports from Sweden. Very thin leather on the palm/grip side and fabric on the back. For chemical time I use an 8mil Nitrile textured glove.

:thumbsup: we used these in the body shop for a few years. Held up real good to thinners, solvents ect.
They are latex free rubber. For a disposable they surprised us.

I started wearing them at Chrysler. I ended up ordering them for everyone by the hundreds once people saw me wearing them. The electricians loved them. You can pick up a dime with them on.

I like and use those as well. Lacquer thinner has been the only thing I have run into that drastically shortens their life.
 
I think something else is going on here as your nails are displaying a fungus attacking them and not due to your current gloves. Also, the rash is more in line with what you are experiencing...Just my thoughts...cr8crshr/Bill:usflag::usflag::usflag:

Thanks for your concern, but
I've been to the doc for this.
It's initially a nickle silver
reaction, which turns into
a psoriasis attack. Tried
medication for the psoriasis
and had a bad reaction to it.
This stuff is a real pain in
the a**.

No, I haven't tried anything
as of yet. This is the docs
recommendation as the
meds prescribed to treat
the psoriasis caused some
adverse reactions.

I get grease, oil and gas on mine all the time. I think they come in different grades. This is a different style number.

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

Try castor oil on the affected skin.

Interesting that the causes are similar to a fungal infection. Thanks for the info. Great for future knowledge should others run into the same problem...cr8crshr/Bill:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :usflag: :usflag: :usflag:
