Rubber gloves actually rated for electrical insulation would likely be too clumsy to do fine electronics work in. At least the pair I have...

I would suggest using your DMM to check the outlet you will be plugging into first, to make sure that it is properly wired (wider blade is neutral) and properly grounded. I would suggest using at least a GFCI receptacle if you want to skimp on an isolation transformer.

Marking the cord for polarity is a good idea. Installing a polarized interlock and cord is a better one.
