gloves for soldering ?

Hi all,

I`d like some advice on the helpfulness or futility of wearing gloves while soldering (some suggestions of gloves to get, if useful would also help).

Also are there any practical solutions for newbie burn prevention while learning to solder ?

My head will be behind a thick lense when soldering so goggles aren`t a concern and there will be a strong flow of air to remove fumes from my vicinity. The most likely soldering station I`ll buy is a Xytronic 369 the same apparent model is labeled as a 379 in America.

I would think that wearing gloves would be an incredible pain in the ass.

Best advice I can give you is to only grab the soldering iron where you are supposed to. I have soldered for years and can't remember the last time I burned myself. You are more likely to splatter solder on yourself, etc. Don't wear shorts and solder with the object in your lap :eek:
