Long lined welding gloves are recommended for welding with coated electrodes.

TIG and Gas welding gloves Thick welding gloves will hamper the control of the torch or rod. Special softskin gloves are available for this purpose. They will protect fully from sparks and the radiation from an arc, but will give less protection than the thicker welding gloves when touching hot metal.
