Rubber "opera gloves" for the dye lab - finally!
Look at these -- I finally found 23" long latex rubber gloves - long enough to reach the drain at the bottom of a laundry tub that is full of cold brackish dye water... they are called Elbow-length Mucking Gloves (they go past your elbow) and can be bought on-line from Lee Valley Tools for $7.95 Cdn.
Item no. BL650. BTW they will send you a wonderful gardening catalogue at the same time - free.
I finished up the 12 metres of tray dyed fabric. Honestly most of them needed a couple of tray treatments plus a third pass of LWI overdyeing before I was satisfied with them. Here are six lengths washed, ironed and ready to be cut up.
Here is one opened up. Yeah, I guess it's OK.

Love your art to. I'm a artist to. I love to work whit paper of al kind. Make also all kinds of bdsm tools from ordinary things.

Hi - I was just looking for gloves for dying, just as you are. After 10 years, these have only gone up $2. Still a good deal, I'd say. Thanks for including a good photos of what these look like while being used.
Wonderful post! We are linking to this particularly great post on our website. Keep up the great writing.
