Are these proper for using on collectible reading material? Will it help prevent spreading oil on pages?

They would be fantastic for the purpose. They have two surfaces, you can use the smooth side out, or, what I prefer, the gripper side out. They protect the paper from any contact with your finger oils. They are much more effective than old fashioned finger cots. They are so comfortable and fit so well that you can go from your books to your computer to answering the phone and back to your books without removing them or even thinking about them. They are also very durable and last a good long time so they are a good value. I recommend!!

Hello ~ We actually have archival libraries that handle William Shakespeare's original works. This was a huge honor for us and are so glad to share it! Also, librarians use the Finger Gloves when handling papers and older books as these more often have formaldehyde in the paper and that cracks and dries out their fingers. The Finger Gloves will pick up any dirt that's already on the reading materials (just like your fingers or even a glove would do), but simply wash them with soap and water and they're ready to use again. Thanks for such a great question! ~ Carmel and Savona

I have not noticed the gloves picking up dirt. You would need to watch them if they started changing colors and wash them. I would not hesitate to use them myself.

they would not spread anything on your fingers but i would be careful using them and really old papers that might tear easily and would not cover your palm so you would need to remember to only use your fingers.

I got them for vintage postcards & old photos and I did do a bit of research on them and the material used IS photo safe, at least that's what they said. Product is of good quality! Hopes this helps.

i would have to go with because they get dirty. i accidentally left a book (a REALLY heavy book), for an extended period of time on a pair i had been using and they were as flat as a penny and within a few minutes they were back to normal and usable.

Definitely yes. I doubles stuffed each page, and they hold well. If you have a Wal-Mart nearby, you can always see how a similar product compares. Happy shipping.

No, this is meant to protect the work on the paper with as little influence on the paper as possible. I would recommend using cardstock, that's closer to playing cards.

You can certainly use these to wipe any dust off the slides. If you are trying to clean fingerprints or smudges, you would want to be very gentle, of course but would be able to use these as well.

I don't think they would work for that. I know I cannot use them to read with. But I do love the look of them.

They stick to plastic sunglasses so my guess is yes. I have them on a pair of Ray Ban aviators and they work fairly well. Good for reading labels, tags, etc. I don't think I would try read get a novel with them but for light reading glasses good.

It should be fine. The magic fiber cloths are soft enough to clean but not scratch the albums.

They are printed on, on closer inspection I noticed there is something over the top of the print. I have never had a problem with them rubbing off, because you really don't touch them.

Yes.If they drop off too often, they lose their magnetism. So best keep them on metal surface.

Yes, I think they would work well for you. They are thin, and the dexterity would be ideal for handling pages in books. They are good all around gloves. Very practical for smaller hands. My hands are L-XL, and the even work for me.

Hello Ann! My personal rule of thumb is after about a thousand sheets of paper have beed shreded or every 6 months... which ever comes first. Thats what has worked for me. These oil sheets are great and circumvent a mess every time you need to lubricate your machine. Have a great day! Ed

You can - but I don't know how well they'll stick if they get any oil on them. The adhesive is just like a post-it note - sticks "just enough."

For reading they would work just fine. Keep in mind it takes a tight head band to keep the eye pieces in place. I spread butterflies using these. I have them on for about an hour at a time. I get a headache in that time from the band.
