Anyone wear gloves to handle vacuum tubes?

@thecarpathian I do not think this is the case with Vacuum Tubes. This is very much so true when handling Halogen Light Bulbs as they run very hot and would could burn the oils deposited on the bulb from your hands. KT88 not so much.

I still am cautious and do wear gloves when rolling tubes.

@texasblues1959 ,

I'm confused by your response, which is not unusual for me. Are you agreeing? Disagreeing? While you decide, I'm going to take another aspirin.

@thecarpathian I can see where it could be confusing. I am disagreeing that the oils in our skin would cause hot spots on the surface of a vacuum tube.

Easy on the aspirin they will burn a hole in your stomach.

@texasblues1959 ,

It's all right, they're baby aspirin. I'm Quite delicate...

I never used gloves, even when I removed my 3b22 rectifier tubes, which run hotter than most power tubes, and have a 6amp filament current. I sometimes leave them on 24/7 and have had no problems for over 6 years.
