carr52 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Posted June 25, 2008 Some one posted that tip on here but I dont remember who. Well, long story short I just wanted to say thank you. It worked out quite well. Tom Quote
Members ptanks56 Posted November 5, 2008 Members Report Posted November 5, 2008 Tom, It was me and it is great, right? Best supply for the gloves is the auto parts store, for the Nitrile gloves, the blue ones, they last a long time. If they get too hot just cut the fingers off and use them instead of the whole glove. I take em off and blow them back right side out and use them till they fall apart. Tank Quote

Is the purpose to keep your skin oils off the leather or what?????? I do lotsa hand stitching and would love to know! William Quote William Tandy Store #17 800-772-2629 Union City, CA

ArtS Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 I use the Nitrile gloves when I dye the leather (well sometimes). I get mine when they're on sale at Harbor Freight.

TomSwede Posted November 5, 2008 Report Posted November 5, 2008 But how do they help grip the needle if you have cut the fingers off??Tony. I'd put on the finger parts on my fingers, that way you get the benefit of a good grip but keep the tight sweaty glove off your palm.

ArtS Posted November 6, 2008 Report Posted November 6, 2008 I think they mean that you cut all the fingers off except for the ones that you need.Art better grip huh....gonna have to try that.I use them for when i'm dyeing the leather too... If I aint too lazy to put them on. Needless to say, I walk around with half dyed fingers quite often.....WilliamLOL That's me too William. Afterward I think, mmm I should have put the gloves on. They also sell knit gloves with the finders and palm covered in nitrile.Art Quote Art Schwab "You cannot teach a man anything. You can only help him discover it within himself." – Galileo Galilei
