What’s on your mind?

I repaired my 1/2 horsie Craftsman garage door motor with a new cog assembly. Then I lubed up the brake cables n shifter linkage and put new pedals on my sons monkey bike. After a good scrub with some Dawn, now I'm wondering how will I get the smell of garage door chain grease, Tri-flow and silicone grease off of my hands.

You don't wear nitrite/latex gloves while doing repair work that involves a lot of grease or oil? That's wild, man. It's cheaper to toss the gloves than to de-grease and clean my hands. I can't imagine how long it would take.😬

My wife won't come near me if I sink of grease.😶‍🌫️ I wear cheap 5mil gloves when doing a simple task like replacing a pickup roller on one of the office laser printer. Toner is toxic. And there's some grease on the gears. And years of accumulated dust.😕 They bought a new printer and I gave me the old one. For 30 minutes of work and a $2 part, I got myself a functioning laser printer.

Folks pretend that gloves (latex/nylon/nitrile) are these impenetrable, untearable, unbreakable barriers of protection. It is amusing that you’d assume I wasn’t wearing gloves.

It’s perfectly acceptable to wear gloves 🧤 when working with dirty and hazardous chemicals and handling toxic substances.

However, if you need to operate any machinery, you must remove your gloves. There’s a risk that they could get caught in the moving parts.
