Gloves for Lacquer Thinner

[ChiScouter]

I need to clean some guns that spray adhesive for laminate. Ive tried Acetone, paint thinner, denatured alcohol, and lacquer thinner and the lacquer thinner works noticeably better than the others. I want to soak the guns and then disassemble, clean, replace parts and reassemble. I can't find any thin gloves with any kind of dexterity that the lacquer thinner does not quickly bleed through. Any suggestions on gloves for this task?

Lacquer thinner is a tough one as it's a blend that's changed over the years/per manufacturer. If it's acetone based though, nitrile isn't going to do anything. Looks like neoprene gloves might be a good choice if that's the case.

Butyl Rubber...

From the Google Monster...

"Butyl gloves are made of a synthetic rubber and protect against a wide variety of chemicals, such as peroxide, rocket fuels, highly corrosive acids (nitric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrofluoric acid and red-fuming nitric acid), strong bases, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters and nitrocompounds."

Thin nitrile seems to pull it through to your skin like capillary action

You can find any thin gloves that will work.

They will work for a little bit but you will be swapping them often.

laquer thinner won't hurt ya, just don't pic your nose and use some mositurizer when you are done.

I regularly work with acetone and find the 9mil Harbor Freight gloves seem to work the best for me: 9 mil Nitrile Powder-Free Gloves X-Large, 50 Pc.

You definitely feel the extra thickness, but I've never had any issues with dexterity with them compared to thinner ones.

They're basically twice the cost of other options (50 gloves instead of 100) for about the same price, but I continue to use them until they rip and they last much longer than anything else. I buy the thinner ones for the Lovely Lady because she is more of a "once and done" glove user.
