Well I scored out today. I picked up a cutting board of a good thickness for a dollar. Perks of working at KMart and finding back stock items no longer for sale. My buddy Derek's dad owns a glass shop so we can get some 1/2" lexan cut. Is this a good material to use for sliding pucks?

Hot Glued velcro to the gloves and corian so it's not going to fall apart. Hot glued the fingers together in a nice ninja turtle hand which I personally like.
I just made these yesterday, i got some work gloves and a big roll of industrial strength velcro from walmart and i bought the little tile pieces from lowes for 2.99 for 12. So far they seem to work well for me, i havent used them much but my friend tried them and ripped off to of the tiles on one hand and i needed to to minor repairs, i think im going to sew the velcro to the glove so that dosent happen again. The pucks seem to be holding well, they are basically stone. Any opinions on how to make these better?
are those f ucking stone???!!!?!?!

Made these last night, good supple leather that is double reinforced in some sections. The interior is lined with cotton, so it wicks away sweat. And my wrist guards will fit inside them. Industrial strength velcro and 2x2 Corian samples from HD. Couldn't find any of the 3x3's or 4x4's, guess I will just have to wait until they start building out the neighborhood behind mine to grab some scraps. I'll buy some Loaded slide gloves when I get good at it. But for now, I suck.
Some people favor gluing or blow-torching your pucks onto the gloves but i'm a HUGE supporter of strong velcro because you can rotate and replace pucks much easier. I use corian samples for my palm-pucks and because of the way i put pressure on the gloves, the pucks wear unevenly (at an angle) instead of uniformly across the top. So what i've been doing is taking a marker and just drawing on the bottom of my pucks and after a few runs, i'll see what parts of the puck are sliding (b/c the ink is scraped off) and what parts aren't (where the marker still is). This is really helpful because I can tell at a glance how i need to rotate my puck to make the wear more evenly distributed.

What did you use to divide the single piece of corian for the thumb pucks?
My first try at slide gloves. My friend and I each made a hand since we only had 8 pieces total.
I went with a left to try out since most parking garages are left turns around here. Used 3 Corian pieces, they use o be dark gray. Just sanded the backs down and used Shoe Goo to attach them right to the glove.
(Wal-Mart cards for Shoe Goo! They carded me, I was like "Why am I being carded for glue!?" and they said kids like to get off of it. So I said "Sweet, just makes me wanna do it now." and they gave me the weirdest look, hahah).
