Has anyone used silicone gloves for trimming?
I just got some and they seem great, but there is a slight softness it adds to my hands. It’s almost like there is a residue on them. It reminds of various flesh oriented items that are marketed to men.
Alternatively, i can use nitrile gloves, but they get a bunch of stuff stuck to them. this silicone should leave all the resin on the plant.
There are also plenty of flesh oriented items that are marketed to women as well. 
perhaps so, but i have little experience with all that. lol. I just asked the GF, a nurse, who uses a lot of gloves. she said I needed to wash them before using them.
Outta likes.
I’d trust her. 
AM I the only weirdo who still trims with bare hands ?
Nope! 
I wear gloves these days.
i don’t mind wet trimming with bare hands, but invariably i will touch my eyes at some point. that is not fun. i don’t dry trim much, but each bud has to be handled. that didn’t seem like something i should do with my bare hands. also, people eat the weed. if i can say it’s never been touched that’s a plus.
I would not wear any glove I had to wash first personally.
Not if you trim them on the branch. Just hold the stick, and trim with the other hand. That’s how I was taught… handling buds=losing trichomes
i think most disposable gloves for medical use or otherwise have something, maybe corn starch, on them. i don’t mind washing these silicon ones once…it did come from a factory.
that is how i wet trim…hmmm, i was planning on bucking then trimming. thanks.
Nope! Me too.
I use Nitrile gloves that I get from the hospitals I work in. There is usually a polymer coating on the inside or they were exposed to chlorination. Nothing that I have ever really even noticed nor had to clean before use. Corn starch is more for latex gloves that are not really used much these days.
Was just about to ask about Nitrile gloves which I always thought were safe, ty for the info.
google says something similar. well, i am waiting to hear back from the guys i got the silicon gloves from. they might still be ok. i’ve got the nitrile too.
Nope my daughter goes into trim jail about every 6 months or so cause my eyesight sux
I’m old school and no overthinking, bare hands…I scrape off the resins and make hash balls and smoke them…
nope 
nitrile for the win i do say ! if you don´t like to use bare hands
