More on the glove/propane problem
We're getting a lot of good responses here and I think that rubber coated
cotton gloves just might work.  When I got nailed I was using a very thick
fleece lined leather glove.  The propane came right through the leather and
nailed me, didn't feel much of anything at the time.  So, at this point, I
don't have much faith in leather as a barrier for super cold gas/fluid
squirting out of the bleeder.  And many of the safety gloves I find on the
Internet brag about how well they breath, exactly what I don't want.  One
reference on propane safety referrers to rubber gloves, that makes sense.
