Does anyone use white gloves to handle records?


Just thought I'd ask if there is much benefit. I know oil from my fingers will touch the edge and some of it will migrate a little inside. I also see the extra hassle of keeping them stored away from dust each and every time. Also how hard is it to manipulate cleaning the record and taking it in and out of the sleave?  What white gloves wouldn't impart any flake off particulates? Just bored here members.  Lets be respectful. Anyway let's hear your opinions

I have on a couple of occasions dropped a record because of trying to handle it by the edges alone 

Just don’t. You should never grasp the surface of a record. Edges and label only.

 I was always horrified by hip-hop DJs but have learned to accept that part...

Rappers are to blame for destruction of tens of thousands of perfectly good SL-1200mk2 turntables. They don’t need sound quality anyways, just time code which they could use a crappy cheap encoder for.
