Instead of the hassle of trying to put on latex gloves to handle a finished model, I use finger cots. They are small roll-on protectors that only take seconds to put on. I got a huge bag from Uline that will last me a lifetime. They come in powderless and anti-static varieties and, of course, various sizes. Although too small for spray painting, they’re great when you don’t need a full glove but want to keep finger oils from marring a finish.
