This sounds like this will work for me. Thanks for the idea! I have used gloves, bare hands, finger cots and still looking for the right thing for me. I guess it is an individual thing.

I haven't used the halo, but have used the rounds with an opening on one portion. I didn't like it, you have to reposition, starting and stopping too many times.
