It would be wise to use heavy duty gloves made for handling chemicals. Can
be found at garden centers.

Even undiluted it wont break the gloves down in a day, and if you are
really
worried you could always industrial or heavy duty Kitchen gloves under the
woollen or cotton one.

I don't think it mentions using a watering can to apply either.

I have used the glove method with various weed killers over around 40
years
with no problems.
