    I'll only use latex gloves if I'm using 2 part. Hands were frozen today doing a kitchen floor in uncalibrated slate with the back door open. No heating in the property & not got the 3ie stat on yet. Don't want adhesive drying too quickly so just had to grin & bare it with the occasional hands under the hot tap

    Being a smoker, I've poor circulation in my hands so normally just crack on with the tiling. If you keep washing your hands in hot water, your hands end up even colder when you leave it.
