Washing of model parts?

[zenrat]

I keep a box of disposable latex gloves ("the bend over and grab your ankles" type but not sterile ones - get them from Bunnings) in my shed and wear them for anything involving brake fluid or caustic soda.
Some people are allergic to latex or to the powder they put inside them.  Some people develop these allergies.
Because of this, these days you have to wear non-allergic butyl gloves when performing first aid but IME they rip far too easilly to use when modelling.
The latex gloves are thin enough that you only lose a small amount of feel but will protect the model.  You hands will however sweat even worse than usual inside the gloves.

It's always best to ensure that your significant other knows that you're using latex GLOVES.
One whiff and you could be sleeping in the dog shed.

You mean she might think i've been wearing her rubber nurse outfit?
Latex does have a distinctive smell doesn't it.

[Runway ? ...]

Indeed. The smell of info, infer, infidelity. Apparently.
