Does anyone use white gloves to handle records?

Thanks Brad for the plant tour. I'm sure more interesting than a CD plant.

Info outlined below is from the above referenced web site.
Another approach to handling the record while removing or placing in sleeve.


Never touch the vinyl surface with any part of your finger or hand
There are oils on your hand and fingers which will leech into the vinyl and degrade replay. In addition to that, finger prints can only be removed safely from vinyl LPs through professional cleaning as described elsewhere on this site. A good idea and one which we have utilized over 40 years is to cut a small square of clean, soft and non-abrasive white paper. Use this square of paper between your fingers on both edges of the disc when removing and replacing the disc in its inner sleeve or bag. In our experience this has caused no issues whatsoever in over 45 years of collecting, playing and caring for vinyl records.

I'm thinking that article should be renamed... Perhaps "How to make vinyl a bigger PITA than it already is" 

I have really big hands, so I can actually hold the records on opposite sides without touching any of the inside parts.


Not true! Would be something though. Had a friend in college that could grab pretty much any watermelon like palming a basketball with just one hand. This WAS true!
