not with water, it won't. water is a very good conductor of heat. i know from personal experience. long story short, if you have a choice between a wet rag and a dry rag to use as a hot-mitt, go for the dry. avoid burning. and blisters.
water will actually speed up heat transfer in most cases. which, coincidentally, is why water cooling for cars and computers is so much more effective than air. air is an insulater.
