Check out the MSDS for the epoxy you are using, in the PPE section it might recommend a glove. In most cases they alwasy say rubber glove, however go to Best Gloves on the web they have a chemical compatiblity for gloves. Typically a nitril glove will be best accross the board for using with various chemicals in the work place and can be purchased at any local hardware or home depot. I was able to replace all latex gloves in my workplace and working on various clients. But contact allergy is only the first repeated exposure especially with chemical exposure on top of that can be dangerous, but can be managed.
