I agree
with Chuck on this one. There seems to some hysteria regarding xylene and it’s
products, back in the dark ages, staining lines were manual, fingers were used
to transfer slides down the line, after 47years of doing this he would get ‘cracked’
finger tips, but after coming back from annual leave his skin would be like
baby’s again. He died in his 80’s of a heart attack.

You
really should try not to become so emotionally involved. I have
coverslipped bare handed for 23 years and still have all my fingers, don't see
spots before my eyes, liver and kidneys work fine and I'm still relatively
sane.

It breaks my heart to
read that there are techs out there NOT using gloves to coverslip!! I
have NEVER touched mountant or xylene with my bare hands and neither should
anyone out there! Buy nitrile gloves that fit you and arent too big and
you should have NO problems!
