Will these stand up to varnish, shellac, mineral spirits etc.? Chemical resistant gloves are too cumbersum for my use.

I've never tired using the gloves with Chemicals, but I've found by reading on line, that some have experenced melting of the glove when using varnish, and other chemicals. So don't think I'd try using them for anything beyond domistic soap and water cleaning.

These gloves are pretty thin, you can get a "better" brand that might stand up to shall or varnish, but almost no latex glove will hold up against thinner or mineral spirits or petroleum products

Yes, our service techs use these gloves to clean & work on copiers & digital equipment. They use strong cleaners. I have had no compaints.

It's "cumbersome", and no, they will not likely stand up to the use of chemicals. You will have to put up with gloves designed for chemical resistance. Sorry.

I would say no. They don't last. I tried every top coat even under UV light. Pretty colors. They just wont hold up on nails for even a day.

Temperature wise they would be good, but for fireplaces I prefer the longer traditional thick leather lined gloves. They defintely have higher temperature range, but your lower arm is a little exposed in fireplace scenario.

They are coated in plastic and don't get too hit for my caloused hands. But if you don't cook a lot, they may get a bit warm for you. Keep a hotpad nearby and you'll be fine.

I would think so . They are nitrile gloves. We order nitrile gloves in our office for those allergic to latex. They are durable and I would order again. I use for backyard pond and spraying around the house.

I can tell you that these gloves are pretty water resilient. I wouldn't submerge your hand in any chemical compound, with these are any gloves but if you do get some chemical on them, I would try to get the chemical off quickly. I'm not sure it would cause great damage to the glove or you so don't do anything too extreme.

I would say that they would hold up to the heat, however, you would need some type of sleeve in order for guests to not burn their hand. Plastic too thin as a barrier. I would stick to something that can be served chilled or warm, but not HOT.

My gloves are fine. I have been using them for over a month now and I have had no problems. I really like them.

To be honest with you I haven't used them yet...I would think they would withstand using varnish remover though!

They do NOT protect you from liquid spills! I can't say about steam, but I would consider it the same thing. Maybe a silicone glove would be better for you. I like them for grilling (flip the meat and all), but they are not anything like the comfort and FLEXIBILITY of the "Oven Gloves" shown - but it is a different job! Worth getting these " gloves for other applications in your kitchen and BBQing.

I wouldn't use them for working with chemicals. The leather is thin and of course the stitching may allow chemicals to get through to the inside. My husband uses them for riding his motorcycle. He says they aren't really suitable for work aside of general labor type projects.

Sure these will protect you I've used them and these gloves protect your hands like nothing else. This material is really tough!!

I have made chocolate shot glasses with them, using melted chocolate, so I do know that they will stand up to heat, if that was what you were wondering~ I hope that helps?

I cannot honestly answer that question.as far as the front of the gloves are concerned I am more than positive that they would protect against the thorns, the backs of the gloves which are the yellow part would not.the size is pretty precise, I wear a large size in the latex style gloves, and these Kevlar gloves fit my hand well although a little looser than most latex gloves.Hope that was helpful:-)

I don't know the actual temperature they can withstand but I've held them over the grill at 700 degrees while cleaning it and no problem whatsoever. In fact, afterwards I took the gloves off and went to put my cleaning brush up and it was so hot (I didn't realize) I would've burned my hand had I not dropped it. Didn't realize how hot the brush got with the gloves on. I'm all for them but don't quite yet have all the experience with them I'd like. Right now though, I'd say they're a no brainer.

They'll work fine, but the grip that enables them to hold things in place is what eats through the finish. If this is important, perhaps a piece of Saran Wrap will protect things.

I have not but I think they would hold up well. They are heavy-duty gloves.
