I didn't like the way some of the medical gloves fit my hands. Also I
had a tendency to cut them open, sometimes without my knowledge. For
a while I would only use them on small batches. But after I ran out I
have gone gloveless for small batches.

I used some K-Mart housecleaning gloves for a few years. You know
those yellow ones. Not sure if they are thin enough for you but they
don't bother me at all. They would only be good for a batch or so,
but no hunan hand. I would do real large batches with them so the $1
I spent on the was well worth it. I was really lucky that they seem
to fit my hand, well like a glove. But last year they were becoming
hard to come by so I went looking for some different ones.
I looked around in Lowes they had all kinds, most of them more than I
was willing to pay for gloves that I didn't know that would fit good
and that might not last longer than the regular yellow ones. But on
my way out of the store I walked through the cleaning section. And
there I saw them the sitting in a nice box that I could open and try
on. They are "Mr. Clean Neoprene coated Latex gloves". I have used
same pair around 3 times already and they still don't seem to leak. I
love these gloves. They are the same thickness as the regular yellow
ones.
