Gloves in a Bottle

[SillyOldDufferModerator @sillyoldduffer]

I wouldn't describe it as magic dust, or active, but the basis of 'Gloves in a Bottle' is a Silicone (polydimethylsiloxane). Much used in cosmetics because it flows across skin and into pores like a primer. It provides a thin but effective temporary barrier between skin and the outside world.

As polydimethylsiloxane been comprehensively tested by our womenfolk, should be safe enough for delicate gallants like ourselves.

Not so sure about plastering myself in Veterinary Products like Udder Cream, but if it's been recommended on the Internet what could possibly go wrong?

Can't add to the technical talk, but plus one vote for the product!

Thanks for the info. Dave

Now that I’ve taken your lead … I also found this: **LINK**

Which I guess shows its ubiquity.

My dad used Rozolex which was the barrier cream supplied by the railway where he worked as a carriage and wagon fitter.he always had clean hands.I suffered badly in the building trade from cracked fingers,having tried several remedies to no avail I asked an assistant a boots what she would recomend.She said the best thing would be a nappy rash cream called Drapoline,this worked brilliantly.

Another forum discussing this mentioned that it may contain silicone oil so be warned if you ever want to paint anything.

I've stripped and repainted many steel steam engines (probably around 40) and never had the slightest problem using this product.
