When it comes to cannabis trimming, gloves are an essential tool for both the safety of the trimmer and the quality of the final product. Trimming cannabis involves handling sticky resin, sharp scissors, and potentially harmful chemicals. Wearing gloves not only protects the trimmer's hands but also prevents contamination of the buds.
What should you consider when choosing gloves for cannabis trimming?
1. Material: Look for gloves made from nitrile. These materials provide excellent protection against resin and chemicals while allowing for dexterity and tactile sensitivity. Quality nitrile gloves, such as CannaGloves™, will help minimize any allergic reactions to the user compared to inferior gloves. Lower quality gloves typically can have a chemical smell to them which could transfer over to your products, so it is important to choose gloves that are manufactured using higher quality standards.
2. Size: Proper fit is crucial for comfort and functionality. Gloves that are too tight can restrict movement, while loose gloves may hinder precision trimming. Choose gloves that fit snugly but still allow for easy movement of the fingers.
3. Thickness: Consider the thickness of the gloves. Select a glove that is comfortable, durable, longer lasting, and provides enough thickness for dexterity and tactility, which is a top priority for trimmers. Having the proper thickness of glove can reduce waste and money spent. Most users prefer a 4mil thickness due to its perfect combination of comfort, durability, and protection from scissors and other sharp objects.
4. Powder-free: Opt for powder-free gloves to avoid any unwanted residue on the cannabis buds.
5. Grip: You want the least amount of surface area touching your plants, so look for gloves with textured fingertips to ensure a secure grip on the scissors and stems, allowing you to perform proper technique.
