Ron;
  I think that's what the heavy duty black rubber gloves are made from, butyl rubber, which is a synthetic rubber, they make inner tubes out of it, believe it or not I've found these in some of the dollar stores, as well as a tool store, and a work wear and safety equipment store. Nitrile gloves are everywhere because they pushed them as a latex glove substitute for those whom develop an allergy. If you can't find butyl gloves try a pair of dish washing/cleaning gloves, you can find those in the cleaning products isles of most supermarkets. Vinyl gloves may also be a substitute, I had some thin ones a while ago, I think that paint stores may sell those, but there are also thicker industrial grade versions, but I'm not sure what acetone may do to those, or paint and varnish remover, mineral spirits seems to make them stiffen up but it doesn't break them down.
Regards
Arran
