I'm finding the specific glove makes a huge difference. Especially with
pyro, latex surgical or health-care style gloves would seem to offer
great sensitivity but are just incredibly slippery. Impossible, no
traction at all on the film. Heavy work gloves from the hardware store
are no good either, might as well try to handle the film with a baseball
mitt. But plain ol' Playtex Living Gloves. (I get no commission) are a
perfect combination of traction and "touch". I can just barely get into
the largest size.---Carl
