I also have a DP with no issues

 

He wasn't saying DP specifically. He was saying custom tuned versus factory tuned.

Off topic but did anybody notice we hit page 1000

 

I work in Gas station maintenance, I used to never wear gloves, and would practically bathe in gas at times. Now, 15 years later, I am so sensitive to it that if I even breath too much of it, it gives me an instant headache, that will put me down for a day.
I buy the blue nitrile gloves from Harbor freight, it is a crap shoot as to if they are good or not though. I burn through about a box of 500 every 3-4 weeks. Right now I have 4 boxes sitting on my truck. If it gets really bad I have black nitrile/ latex gloves that I use for certain chemicals. They are thicker and last longer but are harder to put on, since even the XL's are too small for my man hands, I have shredded the blue ones while putting them on at times. Sometimes they last for an hour, some times they last for a minute or so. I use the heck out of them when I am working on my vehicles and need to grease or change the oil on some thing. I usually put on 2 pairs so half way through the job I can just peel off one pair and have clean hands to work with, like when you have to start the truck, or scratch your nose.
There are many times that I start out wearing the gloves, they shred and I just keep working, and end up filthy anyways.

My wife loves them, so I get a box of medium blue nitrile for her for when she is cutting up meat or cleaning as she has a latex allergy.

 

I hadn't noticed that, since I changed it to show 40 per page a while ago, it is at 375 pages for me. It does take longer to load on my phone when it is the mobile version that way though.

so, who is going to have post 15,000 on this thread?

It's not hard to get a good shot in Alaska, the sunrises/sets last forever. Check out my site; www.oregonscenics.com

 

In contrast; I've never put a pair of thin gloves on but as a mechanic we only worked with gas a little but I have spent hundreds of hours washing parts in solvent with bare hands.

 

For the longest time - I never used rubber/latex, or just standard gloves, and just used the GoJo liberally to clean as well as solvents to clean parts.
Now that i'm getting a bit more seasoned (don't want to say the 'o' word...) and living in a dry climate for the most part - I started noticing that my hands were getting more skin damaged and harder to clean.
Think of it like getting chapped lips - but happening on my hands.
Plus - it's making the wife happy. Throwing away dirty gloves - rather than trying to wash dirty/oily hands in the sinks...

 

I will wear gloves now and than when I have to work or more around real slimy parts or vehicles. I don't mind getting a little dirty but when you have to dig threw gunk to even see the bolts you need to take out I will wear gloves.

That and for any chemical work.
