I will attest that latex works great. Originally, I bought cotton gloves for scanning, but after a while, my finger oil will eventually seep through the cotton and smear the film. With the surgical gloves, everything is A-OK 
In fact, I'll use it from the developing stage to keep the chemicals off my hand (I only use it on my right hand), and later, when the film is dry, I'll use it to scan.
When I'm done, I'll blow it up into a hand-shaped balloon and let my son play with it for a while

18% grey, can also use to calibrate exposure. |

OK, I tried with latex gloves, and I wish I did not. Entering the two holes of the lightsafe bag was a pain, and one of the gloves immediately did break in the tentative. Guess where? Yes, at the tip of the thumb 
Later, when was the time of reeling the film in, the latex constantly like to stick to the film - I'm afraid to see to what result...
One thing I forgot to take note about: the "face" of the film. I actually have no idea if I reeled the film in with the translucid support side out, or the emulsion side out. Damn I planned everything but not about that.
Note to self: next time, remember to wear the gloves _after_ having entered the bag.

It's quite hard to reel the film the wrong side up because it curls naturally towards the emulsion side. Unless you had to fight the curling of the film, it's probably the correct way around (emulsion in). =) |

Not sure if it's been covered, but keeping everything dry, including hands and forearms help a lot as the slightest bit of moisture tends to gum up the emulsion and make everything stick in the reels.
I just wash my hands and blow them with a hairdryer before going in the dark bag.
CHEERS! |
