Wearing vinyl / latex powder free gloves during build...

[frldyz]

For fear of static during my build I was thinking of bringing home some vinyl operatory gloves from my Dental office to wear during my build. They are powder free.

We will be doing the build in the kitchen on a wood table. Pet free environment. Barefoot. And we will have anti-static wrist bands. I know we are doing everything right. But this is my 1st build and I have ALOT of money in components.

Would there be less risk of wearing vinyl gloves with static and eliminate the risk of oils on components.?

Thanks

The anti-static wrist bands should prevent unwanted static discharge which, as you may know, will kill electronics dead. You seem to be taking all the precautions so good luck. where will you attach the wrist bands to be grounded? If you do not use gloves then be sure to handle all components at the edges and do not touch the contacts. If you do touch the contacts clean with isopropyl alcohol.

No gloves it is. Just thought it might be useful.
