What do you guys wear on your hands when using paint stripper?

I put on a set of Latex gloves, the kind that doctors use, and I could feel the burn through them.

It was some sort of paint stripper I bought from Wal-mart, "Premium Stripper" or something like that.

I bought a bumper that was painted and I just wanted the aluminum bumper, so I stripped it, I think it ties the nerf bars in better that way. I am also going to stip some small items off the motor and polish them up.

I second that! I stripped 2 layers of paint off the entire frame in no time flat w/ that stuff. Use the thick yellow rubber gloves or go to the paint store. they usually have all types of disposable gloves for that type of thing. If you are using Airplane stripper or any spray-can stripper product for that matter, outdoors, don't let the wind get a hold of it! You'll be in a world of hurt for sure!!!

No they don't, the leather will absorb the paint stripper and get into your hands. Get your facts straight before you go spouting stuff off.

It worked out good, I decided against painting it again, but I got all the paint off.

Thanks again.
