like it says on the tin, I've read up on the safety tips and have a pretty modern set (FD trinitron KV-13FS100) so I'm knowing that reduces my risk too as those are supposed to discharge faster naturally (and I'm already planning on leaving it unplugged for at least a day).

BUT I have shaky hands sometimes so I'm looking at what my options are for gloves I can wear for incidental openings or while discharging it. As far as I've read they come in class ratings for different voltages, and I'm trying to figure out what would be a sensible class to get to keep myself covered given the other precautions I'm already taking.

I gave the wiki link on the sidebar and didn't see much advice beyond the general "gloves are good", so if any of y'all have any more info to dump or point me towards I would be in your debt. Thanks!
