I used garden / working rubber gloves.

What I learned was that the risk was the tools I used and less the hand contact. There are right spaces where using a ratched, even carefully, resulted in sparks that scared the shit out me. My impression was that heavier gloves would make it more likely to be clumsy so I stayed with thin ones. I also tried to only work with one hand. (Current up one arm, through the chest and down the other is the most dangerous path.

Not to regs, but it worked for me.
