I want to improve my trimming supplies.
I've used those blue examination gloves but are there better ones to use?
How do you keep your scissors from getting too sticky?
I'm considering the Trim Tray by Heavy Harvest.

Thanks

I reuse old cardboard trays from cases of canned beverages.
Fancy trays have a screen, but I don't see how that would be helpful unless you dry trim.
Best scissors are Fiskars titanium non-stick. $12 at Home Depot.

I have only wet trimmed. This time around I'm considering removing all big leaves, dying, and then trimming.

Coconut oil to clean the blades after scraping off the scissor hash first. I cut a rectangle about an inch wide and 4" long from some paper towel. Fold it twice then put a bit of coconut oil in the crease to wipe the blades down after scraping. Also use a dab on the tips of my fingers and thumb of my left hand to hold the buds with while trimming and the goo doesn't stick nor do your fingers feel greasy. Tried hemp oil but it doesn't dissolve the oil as good and the blades get sticky a lot faster. I hate wearing any kind of gloves to do fussy work like trimming.

Just get some parchment paper to cover the surface you trim on as nothing sticks to it and it's dirt cheap. Find in the baking dept of any supermarket. I found a nice 11x16" silicone mat in a big store that sells all sorts of kitchen gadgets. Was part of a cookie sheet/cooling rack trio and the whole thing cost $30 but the wife likes the cookie sheet/rack combo so we both win. :)

I recently bought a bud trimmer, TrimPro Unplugged, to speed up the process and will be using the coconut oil to clean it's blades too.
