Same with old auto painters, not a long a life expectancy. They all washed hands in thinners. Many had liver cancers and most thought it was due to drinking issues. Then it was discovered that the solvents had caused it. Gloves do save lives but what I really appreciate, not looking like an old time mechanic when I'm done working on something, with the grime that takes a week of hand washing to remove.Working in heavy equipment I have known many many mechanics, as they keep the equipment going. The old guys that didn’t wear gloves and washed their hands with brake cleaner and gas, they all had something in common, they all passed away from cancer. I try to wear gloves, if I can, when I work on stuff. Probably a good idea to do so
