I believe they are not 100% resistant to the epoxy systems - which is why
rubber gloves are recommended for layups. That said, I don't wear latex
gloves for extended periods (they are so easily torn anyway) so slow
permeability to the surface contaminants is not really an issue as they
simply would not have time to diffuse through.
Is anyone out there an expert on latex or chemical protection who can
comment?

Wasnt it mentioned latex gloves are permeable to the irritant or is this
just the case for pvc based disposible gloves??
Cheers

John,
All my Stage 1 components have this to one extent or other. Indeed, at the
time we went into it in great depth with the factory and SP Systems (who
make the resin). Apparently it is a result of contaminants emerging from the
resin and reacting with water out of the atmosphere (which is exacerbated by
slow hardener being used and tallies with your weather report) and will need
to be cleaned up prior to finishing. It is not of structural significance.
Having said it is not structurally significant, it is worth taking
precautions for the sake of your health when handling these (and all)
layups. I generally wear latex gloves when handling cured layups, or wash my
hands promptly afterwards. I do not want to acquire an allergy for the sake
of a few hundred disposable gloves and a little care.

Jeremy
