Warning from a friend of mine...DO NOT WEAR THESE GLOVES WHEN INSTALLING
METAL OBJECTS.  These gloves left little dots over the freshly conserved
silver pieces that were being installed for an exhibit.  The conservator
had to do a quick and dirty cleaning (I heard that the conservator was
NOT amused.)
