Hi All,
I would like to chime in on this one. Typically, we recommend using gloves,
such as powder-free vinyl or nitrile when handling any circuit board
materials. We have found that these types of gloves are quite clean and can
help prevent transfers from hand oils, lotions, and/or from the soils
accumulated on hands during the work day. The down side to using gloves is
that they tear and become dirty, so frequent changing is a must. Thus, if
minimizing handling residues and trips to the bathroom are the main
concerns, I would recommend considering gloves, preferably powder-free
vinyl.
My 2 cents!
Best Regards,
