Hi everyone,
I regularly work with both latex and vinyl gloves.
In the day job I spend a lot of time doing micro electronics
work wearing vinyl gloves and all that is required is practice
and after a time it becomes completely natural to do jobs
wearing gloves.
One tip, because your hands sweat it is easier to change a
damaged glove if you wear two pairs on top of each other.
The damaged glove can then be changed easily and there is
very little loss of touch with the extra glove.
