donater - I buy the boxes of medical gloves from Costco and wear em when I am using eggs - really saves your hands (and keeps em from getting dyed red, pink, or whatever)
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

Harbor Freight, watch for the nitrile gloves to go on sale, normally $9.99 for 100. They outlast the latex 20 to 1. They come in black so you can just say Ninja gloves.........

Good to know - yeah the latex ones don't last that long..
