In the spirit of all the other pt lumber queries in this forum, I have another “can pt do this?” question.
Yesterday, I pulled out a pair of gloves that I haven’t used since early summer while building a deck. They are cloth with blue latex rubber palms and fingers commonly used for concrete work. As far as I can remember, the last time I used them was for handling the new pt lumber.
The latex has been melted away from a good part of the gloves and is still tacky! What the hell is this stuff doing to everything it touches?
Seriously, how can this be better for the environment than the old stuff? Any chemical that can melt rubber and oxidize metal this quickly can’t be doing anyone any good.

I don't know about ACQ, but copper napthenate can sure dissolve synthetic gloves. Had that happen while I was using them.

been through a few pairs of those gloves, I think its the gloves themselves, sometimes when they get old the water proofing kind of melts away, but, may also have something to do with what they've been in contact with ..
