gloves to touch vinyl surface


Hi,
I'm in the quest of equipping my record store with gloves for walk-in customers visiting the record store. This hasn't been done at any locations I've seen so far, but quite a few Mint records after a while are full with customer finger prints. They will also protect covers as well.

I don't normally sell any record bellow Goldmine EX grade and don't really want it to be finger-printed or sometimes accidentally scratched by nails.

What will be the best material that would be quite thin? It also shouldn't inflict any additional static.

After a pair of gloves used by customer one drops it in the basket and at the end of day I'll laundry them. I have to order them via uniform store I guess with store logo. I also plan to sell those as well

It's a silly, costly and unnecessary idea.
Any fingerprints can easily be removed by the consumer.
Is this a thinly disguised plug for your record store?
You certainly mention it enough.
Fingerprints are not easily removed unless they're removed within next few min. Than they stick there like a glue and one have to literally rinse to remove it. It also depends on skin and every skin is different. One is more moist another is more dry. There are fingerprints that needle can acctually feel and give a surface noise like ones from the burger grease for instance. VPI would not rinse these off and they'll still be noisy. After ultrasonic cleaning they're back in business sounding very clean. After handling hundreds of thousands of records you will definitely know what is noisy and what is not.
This costly idea can be sufficient by spending $10 for 2 dozen of cotton gloves worn normally by restaurant servers.
There are many confident record listeners who know how to handle them and there are young college kids that do not know and would actually actually ask for gloves if available believe it or not. I have visitors of ALL age categories down to high-school kids shopping for records.
Once again -- the gloves are provided for customer convinience, not for mandatory use

I am curious of where your store is! It's nice
that you care that much. Cheers -Don
