I've had problems with gloves tearing. I also don't like the loss of feel and the water collection in warm weather. I haven't tried the 9mil gloves in XL so that may be the thing that works for me. The other problem is I have a habit of diving into the work and then think, "I should have taken "before" pictures" and "I should have put on gloves".

I use Fast Orange and a hand scrub brush afterwards to clean my hands and it works good, except under the finger nails. Preventing dirt is better than removing it once it is there. Work smarter not harder. I gotta work on that.

Thanks for the recommendations. They are in the cart now. One step closer. I just need to remember to put them on.
