Taking Off The Gloves Without A Fight


When hand-applying finishes, I often wear disposable gloves. Unfortunately, removing them usually resulted in tearing or inverting them, making their reuse impractical. One day it dawned on me that compressed air might help me get more life from lightly-used pairs. I slipped the air nozzle in at the wrist and pulled the trigger. Sure enough, I was then able to easily slip my hand out of the inflated glove without damaging it or turning it inside out.
