    PPE while cleaning...

    I am curious as to how many of yall wear personal protective equipment while cleaning your guns. Personally I wear nitrile gloves (unless the chemical calls for more) and I'll wear a respirator. Any one else do anything of the like? or am I just "special".

    I like to use the gloves and safety glasses. Those little splatters can sting a bit when they find their way into the eyes.

              Nitrile gloves are just about all i use since i sometimes break out the Shooters choice which has a high ammonia content. Other than gloves, i just learn to love the smell or CLP, #9, and ammonia.....

                Gloves and glasses, most of the time.

                    For serious sit down cleaning sessions, gloves, glasses & compressed air! Have to be a bit careful with the air compressor, let's just say I can tell you that MPro7 mixed with carbon residue doesn't taste good! That's one reason I started wearing clear glasses when I use the compressor!

                    For quickies, no glasses, no air, and sometimes I wear gloves and sometimes not...

                      Never wear PPE while cleaning, I also eat before washing my hands after shooting and rarely wear sun screen on summer days. I will die early and happy!

                            For routine cleanings I just use Nitrile gloves, but if I'm doing a full tear down to clean one I wear safety glasses.

                              i just wash my hands really well after a gun cleaning session.

                              if the chemicals i'm using is that hazardous to need wearing gloves... i'm not buying it.

What is a problem is when you threaten my customer service team and make demands instead of being civil. Plain and simple just don't be an a**hole (where you told us to shove it).
