I was wondering what gloves people have found that work for them. The ones I get at the grocery store have been getting all saggy after a several uses and are hard to work in.
I use to be a medic so I have a few boxes of gloves. I use the thick blue ones. Don't rememebr the name though. They don't stretch over your head very well for silly drinking pics. But that didn't stop my brothers from trying...mental.
When working with lye directly and washin - the yellow dishwashing gloves (yes they are saggy)
When doing my oils and soaping - Vinyl
Once I was doing my lye with the thin vinyl and got a bead or two from the lip of the cointainer on the glove and a drop of water HOLY COW was it hot! So be careful even with gloves.
I use the yellow playtex gloves (or whatever brand is on sale) but only for the lye part & for clean up. When I'm mixing oils, stick blending and pouring into the molds I take the gloves off.
I wear glasses so that's my eye protection for the most part, but I know it's not the best as stuff can splatter under/over/on the side of the rims. My husband has some safety glasses that I sometimes steal when I have my contacts in.
