Just wanted to revisit the thought of one time use of gloves. (My post was from April, Mike's from the recent sale July 15
) Again, hygienically single use is the right thing to do, but like I mentioned in my post a while back - availability on gloves is likely to get scarce. Example: Autogeek is out of stock of their offerings.
I work in auto repair - I spoke a couple weeks ago with the supplier that stocks our shop supplies (gloves included). He's been on daily quests to source and obtain gloves to sell to his customers. We're no longer able to request our preferred gloves, you can only request getting gloves period. I don't think we've been able to get our preferred gloves since May, maybe even April.
He mentioned he had recently been on a conference call with his company's suppliers, they were telling him it's likely going to be spring of
2021 before they're expecting supplies to be back up. He said they talked about the companies making gloves experiencing materials shortages; I wouldn't be surprised if there are bottlenecks from various shut-downs that have been taking place as well.
Thought I'd throw a heads up out there. Do as you please with your gloves, but I'll continue "quarantining" the one's I've worn to be batch-washed and reused. If nothing else, I'm saving money on gloves and preventing waste.
