Cool Re: The Definitive Slide Gloves Thread

Some very impressive home-style gloves on here!! Mine are just simple garden gloves with Velcro and chopping board, quick to make, cheap, and i manage to more than three sets of spear pucks out of one board.

well, i figured i needed a new pair o gloves, as i lost one of my old ones, and they weren't in the best shape. They looked like this:


so, i went to home depot (hate the store, only for the corian) and picked up a pair of $9.99 heavy duty work gloves and some industrial strength velcro, the total was 19.50, not too shabby. I asked the clerk for some corian samples, and i guess there aren't any sliders in my town, as he just turned me loose in the corian drawer, with my gloves and velcro in my hands. After a short assembly, my new gloves are really nice, totally worth the 20 bucks.

they look like this:

I have an old pair of bmx gloves and i work for a cutlery company so i can get tons of little cutting boards, just cut a square for the palm and a rectangle for the fingers and angle the fingers one up at the pointer finger a bit so you can still grab your board and move your hand. i used threel ittle bottles of Krazy glue and never looked back. my skating buddy and roommate just bought the new loaded gloves ffor 50 bucks but the about 6 bucks plus maybe a few for the cutting board your set for months. i hardly notice a bit of wear but the loaded gloves at getting worn down super fast.

If you decide to go the cheap route and use good ol' poly cutting board, it melts at a fairly low temp. I use a small butane torch and stick it to the gloves after melting my puck on one side and it works fine. You may even be able to do it with a cigarette lighter...

Bah!
Us Canadians have the worst luck.
Kent (A store like home depot) only gives out their equivelent to corian brochures. I got my dad to go into Home Depot for me, and they said they only have brochures, too!
Damn.

I was JUST at home depot and I think I picked up the exact same gloves and industrial velcro. How did you stick the velcro to the glove? Did it just stay with the adhesive that was on the backing? Now that you've had them for a bit are they working out?

Also I was only able to get 7 samples (2x2) from the lady working there before she started to look annoyed. Any one have tips on "corian puck" configurations?

I may go out to lowes on the opposite side of town and try and grab more.
