Which is still creepy and hot, and doesn't really work for me.

I don't think of a customer of mine right off that wouldn't be insulted 
that I wouldn't touch their piano without gloves.

I usually use nitrile gloves working with epoxy in the shop, because 
latex shreds immediately. Most other shop work shreds nitrile too, so 
it's bare hands unless I'm doing something heavy with work gloves, which 
don't keep me clean.

Bottom line - whatever works for you. I know what doesn't work for me.
