For applications that require a particular tactile sensitivity or dexterity, use thin, disposable gloves, such as those used by physicians -- they can be purchased at drugstores, hardware stores, medical-supply stores and online. If you are allergic to latex, nonlatex gloves are available.

If you still get glue on your skin, acetone will remove it. Nail-polish remover usually works fine -- make sure the brand contains acetone.
