Hello:
Before we all de-fat the tissues of our hands or worse, let's go down to
the industrial supply house and buy Nitrile Rubber gloves. They are
(usually) green and come in various weights and cuff lengths. The are
impermeable to most solvents and yet light weight. Cost is cheap: $1.75
(US)/pair, less in quantity.
Latex gloves and dishwashing gloves are not rated for chemical exposure.
Safety fist!

I love being able to say that I rebuilt my car with my own two grubby
hands.
