About this glove thing.
What is the thinking on this now? A while back some people where saying
that freshly washed hands over a short period of time
was acceptable. I have never liked handling glazed ceramics with gloves.
And many objects snag so easily. I'm aware of the
problems with bronze, copper and brass so I glove up when I handle them.
Other than that I do a good hand washing and go
at it.
So how much trouble am I in?
