Chemicals have 3 levels of "warnings". I apologize, I don't remember the warning level on glyphosate, but for ALL pesticides (herbicide, insecticide or other) you should wear protective clothing. Good rubber gloves, rubber boots, protective apron, eye wear, etc.
When tank spraying I always have some clean water to wash with if I spill on myself. I bought a protective apron off Ebay for less than $20. Comes down almost to my ankles (the advantage of a woman having to buy stuff designed to fit a man). I'll have James take a picture later this year when we start spraying.
For spot application, I generally mix at the house so any spill can easily be cleaned up there.
You can shop on the internet for rubber gloves or buy them in the grocery store where the mops, etc. are located. Get the heavy ones. The lightweight (generally yellow) don't hold up. I generally buy in the grocery store because they fit my hands better.

When you're done, be sure to wash everything off well, including the chemical containers, to make sure any drips or spills are cleaned off.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
