I think they'd need to be chainmail gloves, but I can't see a reason this wouldn't work.

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

RIP to your fable I'm built different
Of course he did, he just only thought to do it while jorkin' it
Accidentally turning all my family members to gold is one thing but what about the penis
What if you could cum gold? That'd be sick
Liquid gold would be hot, solid gold would be solid.
Hell yeah
Up in the Mids club straight up jorkin it. And by it, well lets just say my gldont
He had full control or else the air would be gold too. He had the scribe lie about everything who was also a member of the illuminati and they still use the gold today to keep the new world order alive along with him(froze him in time right before but this process requires a lot of gold). King Midas's grand children are the elites rule the world today with a golden fist from the shadows through their loyal illuminati agents but they are growing weaker so they are desperate to find the means to keep him alive perpetually so they...tryzhahwaz

I can't believe i never thought of this
But if king midas puts on the gloves they turn to gold and then he can't ever take them off
Clearly the only prudent solution is for him to lather himself up entirely with (now) golden bodypaint
Isn’t gold like super pliable though? It seems the gold doesn’t spread through other gold things like some kind of gold plague or else the entire earth would have turned to gold immediately. So gloves would probably work, they’d just be really uncomfortable like all of his clothes.
You'd have to make them out of something very thin or they'd be way too heavy and stiff I'm pretty sure. Or something loose, like chainmail as others have suggested. Which would also mitigate the weight issue.
What if he just put like two giant condoms over his hands
The invention of polyethylene plastic would have made the downsides minimal. Save for the touch of another human but who needs that
Gold chainmail.
CinemaSins ping sound
Was it just his hands or any part of his skin? Did he wear gold undies??
The whole lie is collapsing
Would have no effect on me because I'm fucking priceless 
Who is Priceless and does this person have a sibling
He tried to, but the glove drawer turned to gold
when i am having a bad day i like to think of raven from the xmen as a masseuse
