Many years ago, working in a pro lab, we used surgeon's gloves. We had a box (500-sheet 5x7 paper-size box) half full of talcum powder; you just towel-dried the gloves, stuck your hands in the box, then peeled them off inside out - freshly powdered on the inside to make them easy to put on again. Worked like a charm.

The nitrile  gloves are a neat idea, I too wish I had thought of this earlier.  In fact I have some of these gloves (snazzy purple ones) sitting around in my darkroom not being used right now.  One question I have, how do you quickly change between the wet side and dry side again and taking the gloves off in a way that they can be put on again without getting wet hands?  I usually have to turn the gloves inside out to take them off.  Maybe you go through many set of gloves during a developing session?

I'll second the gloves.  I only wish I had started using them a lot sooner.
