Probs shaving arms.

I work with substances nobody should really mess with and that implies wearing gloves for extended periods of time.

Pulling hairs out is a daily event and washing contaminants away when the gloves fail with that much hair - or any amount whatsoever - makes things harder.

I would sooner make gunpowder cotton or nitroglycerin instead.

My curiosity is piqued too! I’m mostly commenting so that I can check back later, but…

  • Are they wearing chain mail gloves (for sharks or cutting meat) that the hair would catch?

  • Going forearm deep in food, to stir or, I don’t know…?

  • Reaching into hot ovens or crucibles that the hair would singe?

  • Going forearm deep to help birth sheep or cows?

  • Or are they a wristwatch/hand model?

You must wear food grade gloves underneath the chain mail ones, regardless.
