ok. people. velcro. should i glue it to my gloves? somehow i don't think that sticking it on will cut it.

Something I found that works is to melt cutting board to your glove, then stick the Velcro to the cutting board. Your probably gonna want to run your glove with just the cutting board for a while to thin it out.

^does that make any sense?

i have melted the board to gloves before.. and it works ok.. but i like the idea of velcro better.

just a tip, superglue gel works a lot better and dries pretty quickly.

I used a heat gun, then peeled the gloves back (on the spots that did not stick the first time), and re melted them. Then they stuck. In other words, the middle stuck first try, and instead on trying to re-do it, I melted the edges again, then stuck the to the leather glove. haven't used them much, but are working great.

p.s.- I only have a palm puck, since I DH.

My friend and I want to wall mart last night, bought winter work gloves. They are nice and padded, and don't get too hot. Bought poly cutting boards. He cut his with a razor blade (and part of his finger) I used a saw. His shattered when he tried to bend it. He then hot-glued the shards onto his gloves. They work pretty well. Mine are still being built. Here's some pics of his gloves.
