<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2811028, member: 1892"]That's a bit more complex. The only way to stop eventual acetone penetration with a glove is to wear rubber gloves so thick that manual dexterity is lost. Although I've no problem with direct acetone skin contact, it's always brief since I'm only handling one coin at a time and even at that my skin bleaches immediately. You have a few more coins to deal with than that. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Acetone tolerance varies with people, and for crying out loud don't have an open sore with which it can come into contact. For a preview of what that feels like, stick a dull ice pick into your tongue. Trust me on this. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Assuming you tolerate latex, that's probably the best bet for gloves which will allow you to effectively use a fingernail to grab the coins. At that, your protection is still measured in less than five minutes, but in your position I would probably pick up a box of latex gloves and work with them. The only way to "pour" them out is into a thin mesh scoop colander of some sort, and that raises problems with contact damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

For a preview of what that feels like, stick a dull ice pick into your tongue. Trust me on this. :p Assuming you tolerate latex, that's probably the best bet for gloves which will allow you to effectively use a fingernail to grab the coins.
