The most minor details can make the most significant difference in auto painting and finishing. One often-overlooked detail? Disposable gloves. The right pair doesn’t just protect your hands; it protects the integrity of your paint job. And if you’re serious about keeping silicone away from your surface prep and finish, it’s time to take a closer look at silicone-free glove options.
Why Silicone-Free Matters in Auto Paint Work
Silicone contamination is the enemy of flawless finishes. Even trace amounts can wreak havoc:
- Causes fish-eye effects in paint
- Interferes with paint adhesion
- Requires costly rework and delays
