Looking for long gloves.

[SeanT]

I posted this in the equipment forum but then I thought the chemists may know. :D

For quite some time I've been looking for single piece rubber gloves at least 36" in length and I've had no luck.

Does anyone know of a site (reefing, industrial or otherwise) that sells them.

The only requirement us being reef safe. :)

Thanks a bunch,
Sean

LabSafety.com sold shoulder-length gloves in the past, at least. Their web site is hard to search now, so finding them might be painful.

I use these every time I put my hands in my DT:

Bertoni, thanks I'm gonna give it a look.

Kaskiles, I've used them too but those are too short and eventually leak at the seams but thank you. :)

+ 1 me to, in fact I think I need to order another pair as they are becoming hard to come by now days.:hmm6:

Would these gloves be reef safe?

Neoprene should be fine for working in the tank.

[SeanT]

Sweet thanks.
They aren't cheap but I really need them.

[SeanT]

They also make them out of butyl.
Would that be better/worse?

[bertoni]

Honestly, I don't think the tank will care. One or the other likely is more tear-resistant, but I don't know which. Their size choices were hard to understand: I ended up with a badly oversized pair of gloves, so it might be worth checking that detail carefully.

The different materials can be very important when working with solvents and toxic chemicals, but saltwater just isn't that hard on plastic, in this application, anyway.

I have used these ones before, http://www.labsafety.com/search/natural+rubber+glove/24530233/?GoButton=Go

Hey Steven,
I actually have a pair of those.
I just need a long pair to work on the bottom of my display.
Having gloves filled with water is getting old. :D

I just received the gloves.
Perfect length, however they flair out a tad more at the upper arm end than I thought but nothing a large rubberband can't fix.

The packing on a pair of rubber gloves was insane.
They were in a bubble wrap, wrapped box.
Inside a box with air pockets, inside a box with peanuts lol.

A bit of a waste. ;)

[SeanT]

Ok, this'll be my last post about this. :D
But these gloves freaking rock!
They have made my reefing live so very much more easier and more enjoyable.
Being able to reach anywhere in my tank is a Godsend.

Which ones did you end up goin with?

I am looking at the marine depot pair

[SeanT]

I went with these.
Pricey but worth it to me.
