[QUOTE="Denturepropgh, post: 319926, member: 5620"] So I would use 20 mil butyl rubber gloves if you are going to be in intimate contact with acrylic dough. That will protect you for 1 hr and 20 min or so. But I HATE using thick-ass rubber gloves when packing. I'm asking Albert if we can use the 5-mil butyl rubber with a pair of nitrile gloves underneath. But that would probably only protect us for maybe 10-15 minutes (which would be good for repairs/acrylic pours but not for conventional packing) If I was conventionally packing dentures, and really concerned about monomer absorption through my skin I would wear the 20 mil gloves, but even more importantly, try to use a metal spatula to carry the acrylic from the mixing jar to the mould, limiting my exposure to the chemicals. It's tough to protect ourselves correctly when we often are working in a high-production environment. I wish there was a 2 mil surgical fit glove that would protect us indefinitely, but we aren't there yet technology wise. This has been an interesting and exhausting topic so far! [/QUOTE]
