Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?


I wear cloth gloves to change or to test tubes. Does anyone else do this? I see lots of bare fingers handling tubes on ebay. If I ever do touch them with bare skin, I am very quick to wipe with dry cloth after. Just wondering what the rest of the world does. Thanks

Who was it who said:

"You can use your bare fingers to handle tubes, just make sure you wipe off the peanut butter first."

I believe it was John Harvey Kellogg.

Close, it was Roger Modjeski:

 

When asked to comment on the subject of NOS verses current production I demur. On cryo treatments I chuckle and on the white gloves I say. "Skip the silly gloves, these are not quartz lamps, just wash the peanut butter off your hands first, that gets kinda messy." BTW, Who started this silly notion that you can’t touch the glass?
