Euphorbia wulfenii

Happy Sunday everyone,  I have a large very beautiful plant of the above
Euphorbia which started blooming early March.  The soccer ball sized flower
heads are finally beginning to dry up and I'll let the best seed heads dry
and scatter in hopes of finding babies next spring.  But in the meanwhile,
can anyone tell me how to take and stick cuttings of it?  I was told that
the spent flower stalks should be cut to the ground so that leaves the new
(this years growth) stems to take cuttings from.  I also was told that the
milky sap is very irritating to the skin, so I plan to wear gloves.  Do I
need to seal the cuttings (if so, how) or just let them "bleed"?  I had a
garden tour here the first weekend in April and this plant was definitely
the star of the show.  Everyone wanted a start of it.  I appreciate your
advice.  TIA, Marilyn
