I do not use gloves, but I do wipe the tubes off after installation before powering on.

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
