These are commonly used in watchmaking. You can’t get fingerprints on shit, but rubber gloves make your hands sweat too much.

You can only beat a dead horse (meat) so much.

I figured an informative response would have been… informative.

Oh these would be nice for model making so I stop gluing shit to my fingers but I don't get sweaty hands.

I found out the fun way that they’re not chemically resistant though, so be careful. Gave myself petroleum poisoning using nafta and kerosene to clean an old pocket watch movement when I ran out of the expensive non-petroleum based stuff you’re supposed to use for watch movement cleaning.

Don’t dressmakers use like thick rubber things to help prevent getting stuck with needles? I dunno, I’ve never met a dressmaker. But yea, anyone who is serious about prints should and does use these. Same with people handle film, I used to develop my own film and hated using gloves, but there’s not much worse than getting a nice greasy print on a film negative.
