Static from nitrile gloves seem to be affecting Charge Master 1500 readings

Just a note. I often wear nitrile gloves when reloading because I can get a surer grip on cases, bullets, powder tray, etc, to reduce the risk of something slipping/dropping. I noticed when weighing powder wearing the nitrile gloves that when I got my hands close to open the windshield to grab the filled weighing tray that the grain readout increased by maybe .1 to.3 grains. Initially I thought this was due to the windshield door swinging open. However, when I removed the gloves this problem did not occur. I will probably try antistatic dryer sheets to wipe on my gloves and see if this eliminates the problem. Thought you all might want to know. All comments are welcome.

Cut the thumb/forefinger off a glove and use that. See if it goes away.

Timberyote - I looked at a wrist anti static band on Amazon. It appears based on their video that the wire from the wrist band should be clipped to the CM (or whichever devise for which you are trying to avoid static). However, I don't see any metal parts on the outside of the CM to attach the clip. Any thoughts?

Just clip the wire to the faceplate screw of an electrical outlet or water pipe.

Basically you are doing this in the pdf.

Hope this helps.
