I've seen "liquid gloves" in art-supply/craft stores. It's supposed
to help keep the paint off the hands of artists, while not affecting
dexterity. Haven't tried it, but it looks like it's clear. Does
anyone know if this is the same stuff? (I'll check the ingredients
next time I see it, to see if it's latex - but I didn't think latex
was usually so clear.)
