    Carb Dip / Safety

    My carb dip says to handle with PVC gloves/apron. Having a hard time finding. Does everyone stick to that or do you find other types of gloves work?

    Harbor freight, Lowe's and Home Depot should have the gloves

    I just used a long pair of pliers to move parts from the dip can to the rinse bucket.. I don't follow directions all that well

      My hands are so calloused that I don't even bother with gloves. Just wash them off soon after any exposure.

        I just wear ntrile gloves. It WILL dissolve them if you get a lot on there and over some time, but just for brief handling from the dip to the rinse they work fine.

          I'm with Renobruce on this one. I lift the bucket out of the can, shake it a bit, then hold a rag under the bucket so it does not drip, and take it to the sink, where I use a hot water rinse.

          I have not noticed any problems with occasional contact, your mileage may differ.

            Stuffed my bare hand in the bucket to fish out a loose part from time to time. wash, rinse and repeat...
