Thanks for everyone who responded, here is a summary of responses:

1. several people said they were having the same issues
2. Ossur casting tape was reported to not have residual tackiness when
using standard nitrile gloves
3. People suggested dipping hands in water (with regular gloves on) to
reduce friction between you and the fiberglass
4. one person uses green exam gloves from cascade
5. one person uses vaseline on gloves
